French reports say that France is lending Greece two state-of-the-art frigates.
It appears that they also discussed the telephone communication that Defense Minister N. Panagiotopoulos had with his French counterpart, Florence Parley.
The information says about 2 French Frem frigates that were built in 2019 in Alsace and Lorraine, as the French have called them, which are currently in the final stage of testing and have state-of-the-art area defense systems by which the navy is interested but they are also excellent. In anti-submarine warfare, they have a high speed that reaches 27 knots while they can carry the systems that the navy wants and for those who have also spoken about the Bellara frigates. In fact, the information says that these 2 frigates may be provided in the form of an intermediate solution ship until Athens concludes the discussions on the frigates with which it will reinforce the navy.
At the same time, the priorities of the Ministry of Defense are the upgrade and maintenance of the C130 and C27 transport aircraft, which play a crucial role in the armed forces for the transport of personnel and equipment to the islands.
During the phone call of the 2 ministers, they also discussed Rafal, the 18 for which Athens is interested, the ratio of young people to used remains to be finalized, while the doctrine of defense assistance was also discussed, which provides military support from one country to another in case of military engagement.
The two ministers also spoke about Charles de Gaulle and the possibility of holding joint exercises whenever in our region, in the Eastern Mediterranean.
