General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon

Greece’s armed forces are on standby following a spike in the number of national air space violations by Turkish aircraft over the Aegean Sea.

Greece is looking to make improvements to its fleet of F-16s after already setting in motion an upgrade for its Mirage fighter jets, Kathimerini has learned.

Defense Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos has asked for a plan to be put in place for the improvements to the F-16s. It is not yet known how much such a scheme would cost.
