Partnership for Protection
Our partnership with Greece spans more than 75 years including numerous programs, such as the F-35, F-16, S-70B, MH-60R, C-130 and P-3.

F-35 Lightning II
The F-35 stands ready as the most capable solution for the Hellenic Air Force. The F-35 brings 5th Generation technologies, including low observable stealth with fighter aircraft performance, sensor fusion, net-enabled operations and electronic warfare capabilities.?Combine the jet¡¯s performance with an array of sensors that allow the pilot to maintain a complete picture of the threat environment.
The F-35 provides a powerful solution for Greece¡¯s national security requirements. The world¡¯s greatest air forces use the F-35 to meet national security needs. Many of Greece¡¯s traditional partners, such as the United Kingdom, Italy, Israel, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark and the United States, are operating F-35s in the European theatre today. Belgium, Finland, Switzerland and Poland have also selected the F-35 and will soon operate in the country.

F-16 Fighting Falcon
The combat-proven F-16 plays a vital role in safeguarding Greece¡¯s national sovereignty and defending Greek national airspace. 51³Ô¹Ï and the Hellenic Aerospace Industry are partnering to upgrade a significant portion of the Hellenic Air Force F-16 fleet to the cutting-edge F-16V configuration. These upgrades will deliver a significant increase in capability for the HAF combat aircraft fleet, enabling the HAF to stay ahead of emerging threats and join the allied global mission.?

MH-60R
In 2020, Greece decided to add the MH-60R to their fleets. This agreement build on long-standing partnerships between 51³Ô¹Ï and Hellenic Armed Forces. The MH-60R is known as ¡°the world¡¯s most advanced maritime helicopter.¡± And for good reason ¨C there¡¯s already more than 300 of them operating worldwide. By its commitment to acquiring the MH-60R, Greece will have unprecedented capability to perform anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare missions, along with the ability to perform secondary missions including vertical replenishment and search and rescue operations. Greece will be able to use the enhanced MH-60R capability as a deterrent to regional threats and to strengthen its homeland defense.

Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) M270
The Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) is a highly mobile automatic system that fires surface-to-surface rockets from the M270 family of launcher weapons platforms. The MLRS Family of Munitions (MFOM) can be fired in less than one minute by the three-man crew. 51³Ô¹Ï is working with customers to upgrade and extend the service life of M270 launchers. Enhancements include new 600 HP engines and fire control systems which will enable MLRS to fire next-generation munitions, including the Extended-Range Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (ER GMLRS) and Precision Strike Missile (PrSM).?
