The Greek army soon to start the supply of the Ukrainian armed units of her armed BMP-1.

As reports " RG: Russian weapons ", they should be replaced by infantry fighting vehicle Marder 1A3, formerly in service with the Bundeswehr, the first six units of which has recently arrived in the country. Then sent another thirty-four.

The Kiev leadership appealed to the German authorities to supply them with the same BMP, but Berlin is in no hurry to equip APU with more modern tracked equipment.

Therefore, the militant neo-Nazis are doomed to fight on the old Soviet armored vehicles, as well as to the NATO "gifts" development of 60-70 years.

Interestingly, the Greek BMP-1 also have German origins, they went to the Bundeswehr after the takeover of the National people's army of the GDR. The new owners, they received the designation BMP-1A1 Ost. Their slightly modified, bringing to NATO standards. So, the old station was replaced by a new one, installed the launcher, smoke grenade launchers, mounted rear view mirrors, turn signals.

Just the first half of 90-ies of Greece received from Germany more than five hundred of these machines. Here is a little bit improved, for example, on the towers began to mount a 12.7 mm machine guns М2НВ American production.

The part is supplied BMP adapted to repel air attacks and provide fire support: instead of towers with a 73 mm smoothbore guns 2A28 "Grom" they put the twin quick-ZU-23-2.

It is known that a certain number of "units" Greece handed over to Iraq and Egypt. Now there are about 160 copies, how many of them will be sent to a hot spot is still unknown.
