Fallout Re: Greece OOB

Articles I have been saying the exchange will happen during the exchange for the Marder A3. Greece is indicating they want those Marder's integrated into their units alongside their LEOPARDS.
You'll note I've been tracking this since May/June.

This will be a 40 for 40 swap in 3-way deal.

Also, the pictures in ref. 2 clearly show the Milan ATGW launchers have been removed from the now Greek Marder's.

Also, more on bottom on the Greek BMP-1A1 with a picture of one that looks more like an American made Browning .50 Cal MG mounted on it.

See the German Marder pictured in ref. 1 w/Milan installed.

Regards,
Pat
