The U.S. and Germany demand that Greece give Ukraine about 130 BMP-1s from the Greek army

Ukraine may receive more than a hundred BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles from the Greek army if Washington and Berlin persuade Athens. According to the Greek press, the U.S. and Germany have significantly increased pressure on the Greek government.

According to the available information, the United States and Germany want to transfer 130 BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles from the Greek Armed Forces to Ukraine, as well as Soviet-made air defense systems in service. They are talking about S-300, Tor-M1 and Osa-AK air defense systems. In the last two weeks the pressure on Athens has only increased.

According to Efimerida ton Syntakton, the Greeks have managed to reject the insistent demands of the Americans and Germans under the cover of the Turkish threat. But only temporarily in the case of the antiaircraft systems. As for infantry fighting vehicles failed, the United States and Germany have demanded from Greece to give Ukraine about 130 BMP-1, instead of which the Germans promised to supply BMP Marder 1A5 from the stock of the Bundeswehr. However, Athens has not yet made a final decision.
