It is not a Wagner base it is a Malian military base.

President Erdoğan met with Putin in Russia:

"One of the biggest matters between us is the steps we have taken and will take in the defense industry."

Greek military hardware is swimming. Due to no maintenance, a lot of Greek choppers couldn't relocate to a safe spot to run away from the floods.
Buying hardware is one thing keeping them in shape is another. Greek armed forces have low readiness. Only a few units has real offensive operations capability.

Hueys, Super Pumas, and Apaches became the victims of the flood.

Everyone makes fun of Egypt's fortification divisions. However, everyone here saw how important the fortification units of an army are and how critical the quality of the hangars built is.

BTW this photo doesn't look like a repair/maintenance. It looks like Greece is cannibalizing some older Apaches to keep other Apaches flying.

Pretty much salvageable. Water level is below the fuselage for most cases in the photos.

Damages can be repaired but some equipment will need factory-level maintenance which Greeks lack and other equipment will need depot-level maintenance.

The photo was taken after the flood waters somewhat retreated. Some of those choppers were probably in a worse situation while it was raining.
