It's about time we covered our side of the Mediterranean, shall we?
I'll start with a general mix of pics, then we can continue with specialized posts (or whatever really).
Enjoy

Modified Greek BMP-1s fitted with AAA Zu-23. The Army General Staff notes that the combination of the two systems of Russian origin would lead to a substantial increase of fire power on islands with no additional costs of exploitation of existing instruments, spare parts and ammunition.
Their role, as we pointed out, it will be 'mobile emplacements' assignments for anti-landing operations and repelling and neutralizing air raid bridging in islands.

Good move, compared to getting rid of the BMPs altogether. I've read ~100 will be used on the islands in that configuration (pics from Kos exercises show them operational). I'm not sure if that means the Steyr/quad 50 cal combo will be scrapped (it's meant to be in storage). Now they need to upgrade all M-113 with full gunner protection, like Vietnam era ACAV versions.


the one on the right but still lacks the barrel-like part


this one lacks the front element...  


apparently this is Army's indigenous effort


Other interesting, cost-effective ideas from the Army

Nice stuff found on defnet gr forums. If you guys have any articles or pics plz share.
I start with pic-only post from Athens (we're gonna appreciate more here than the photo thread).

Not NAMFI for sure. The location of the Navy's land-based Exocets is sort of classified.
Many have claimed things, made maps, etc. but officially there is no comments.

Actually Greeks in NAMFI told us they are using it for tests and training on naval targets same as SAMs. Its not like they were stationed there or anything.

I meant the one on the picture which is not in NAMFI 100%.

The one you saw, sure, it makes sense to be tested at NAMFI.
Question: what color was the missile box on the one you saw?
You might know why I'm asking and it would explain why it was there few years ago

I never saw actual missile or testing, we discussed random stuff with people there and ofc mentioned what NAMFI is used for beside air defence missile tests, but launcher that was parked there in one of the yards was gray at least its canisters and it wasnt on truck, but some kind of towed platform.

One of my service pistol magazines probably remains on beach there, or someone stole it God knows, had to pay for damn thing after i returned.
