I clicked back to Judy Dempsey’s original article on the Greek Armed Forces, and on finding this statement I decided to check it.
“Greece went on a buying spree, purchasing submarines, fighter jets, and tanks from Germany and France. Not that they needed them.”(referring to 2009)
Tanks from Germany were ordered in 2003 and 2005. Tanks may have been needed as the majority of Greek tanks were modified 50s and 60s equipment.
The submarines in question were ordered in 2002. The main submarine type in the Greek Navy, the Type 209, dates from the 60s.
The last French fighter jets purchased by Greece were Mirage 2000s – funnily enough in the Year 2000(!)
Greece had planned to purchase 60 Eurofighters in the early 2000s – but this plan died as the costs of the Athens Olympics had to be covered.
So, in her main article, Judy gets 0 out of 3.
