Citation :: Greece sues for 7 billion euros over German submarines that have never sailed

Exclusive: Military deal which became symbolic of financial crisis now at centre of international legal case over Greece’s geo-political reputation

Greece has launched a multi-billion euro claim against one of Germany’s biggest defence firms who sold the financially-beleaguered country four submarines in a complicated deal which has become symbolic of the country’s economic woes.

The controversial deal has threatened Greece’s position in Nato, according to well-placed sources, led to the criminal prosecution of the country’s defence minister and the resignation of a senior Naval figure.

The Telegraph today publishes photographs of the four submarines, which are still unfinished in a Greek shipyard almost 15 years after they were first ordered.

It can now be disclosed that the Greek Government has launched a seven-billion euro compensation claim against ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems and Abu Dhabi Mar – the defence firm and shipyard now responsible for the order.

A 200-page document sent to the ICC International Court of Arbitration states that Greece’s international position was compromised by the failure to supply the submarines and its position in Nato was undermined

“The issue is so sensitive that we could claim even higher economic compensation from the Arabs and the Germans because the submarines are connected with the geostrategic role of the country, its place within NATO, and the fact that the country is awaiting the finalisation of the Exclusive Economic Zone which has brought several investors who want to invest in its natural resources,” said a well-placed source.

Following years of delay, the Greek Government has recently insisted that the submarines are finally due to start full sea trials imminently, although no date has been set. When one of the Greek submarines first went to sea, it was found to list heavily in certain sea conditions.

Greece’s spending on defence systems before the economic meltdown has attracted controversy, with the four submarines coming to symbolise the waste. The country was Europe’s largest importer of weapons, spending four percent of GDP on armaments. It had 1,300 tanks – more than twice as many as Britain.

Greek politicians claimed that Germany encouraged Greece to spend vast sums on weaponry and then criticised the country for profligacy. However, a 3 billion euro deal to buy the four submarines – vessels the country does not even need – have become a tipping point and the new Greek administration now appears determined to seek compensation.

The ICC appeal is likely to be part of Greece’s attempts to shift the blame for its massive overspending onto other European countries. The International Court of Arbitration resolves international commercial disputes.

“If there is one country that has benefited from the huge amounts Greece spends on defence it is Germany," said Dimitris Papadimoulis, an MP with the Coalition of the Radical Left party, said previously.

Last year, the former defence minister Akis Tsochadzopoulos was jailed after being found guilty of receiving an €8m bribe from Ferrostaal, one of the German companies involved in the deal. Ferrostaal agreed to pay a €140m fine.

Stelios Fenekos, a 52-year-old vice admiral of the 22,000-man strong Greek Navy, also resigned his position in the wake of a row over the vessels. He said he did so in protest at the Greek defence minister’s decision to purchase the submarines, as well as other decisions taken that Mr Fenekos considers “politically motivated”.

"How can you say to people we are buying more subs at the same time we want you to cut your salaries and pensions?" said Admiral Fenekos.

The four Class 214 submarines have been mothballed in the Skaramangas shipyard near Athens in Greece for over two years, having been ordered over 15 years ago.

Workers left the shipyard in April 2012, but were recently told they would be rehired on wages 35 per cent lower than their previous salaries.

In total the submarine deal has cost at least three billion euros – three times more than the EU demanded that the Greek administration save from the country’s budget by cutting workers’ pensions, a move that sparked violent unrest in Athens.

Although the economy of the country is now slowing improving, Greece has received international financial bailouts which total 215 billion euros. In return for the bailout, Greek was ordered to adopt extreme austerity measures.

The four boats that are currently in Skaramangas were finally handed over to the Greek navy in March, although the deal was first signed in 2000. At that time, the Greeks ordered three Class 214 submarines with an option on a fourth.

ThyssenKrupp Marine bought the shipyard, which was responsible for building the submarines in 2002 and subsequently sold on a large shareholding to Abu Dhabi Mar.

The Navy is expected to carry out minor modifications on them and undertake sea trials in Souda Bay, Crete, before commissioning them into service.

The submarines are almost 214 feet long and carry 5 officers and 22 crew.

ThyssenKrupp Marine declined to comment as the company said it had not seen details of the claim.

Citation :: Greece To Spend EUR 1B on Army Modernization

Greek Defense Ministry is planning a large-scale modernization of the army which will cost a minimum of EUR 1B.

Currently, the modernization program is up for consideration in the parliamentary defense committee. If approved, the plan will be launched by the end of July, according to local media, cited by Bulgarian private TV station BTV.

A total of 36 M270 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems will be modernized. Another part of the funds will go for the transportation of American Oshkosh HEMTT (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck) from the US to Greece.

Some EUR 150M will be allocated for the purchase of 30,000 120 mm caliber shells for main battle tanks Leopard 2. Another EUR 400M is provisioned for the modernization of the 4 frigates under the project MEKO 200HN, as the parts will be produced by local companies.

A total of EUR 350M will be spent on modernization and equipping of the 4 coastal patrol aircraft P-3B Orion. Furthermore, 11 multipurpose helicopter S-70B Seahawk and 9 Elli-class frigates will be renovated, BTV informs.

Citation :: Greece commissions second Type 214 submarine

Theodore L Valmas, Athens - IHS Jane's Navy International

On 6 October the Hellenic Navy held the naming, flag-raising and launching ceremony for HS Pipinos (S-121), its second Type 214HN-class submarine, at the Hellenic Shipyards' Skaramangas yard.

Having completed its harbour acceptance trials, HS Pipinos is scheduled to commence Sea Acceptance Trials immediately and is expected to be fully operational in November. In mid-October, HS Okeanos (S-118), the world's sole Type 209/1200 submarine upgraded with new electronics and an Air Independent Propulsion module, bringing it up to Type 214 standards, is scheduled for sea acceptance trials, in order to be fully operational by December.

The Hellenic Navy's Neptune II modernisation programme for three of its four-strong Type 209/1200 submarines ceased after work on HS Okeanos in order to fund the construction of two more Type 214 submarines, although due to budget cuts their fate now looks tenuous.

Citation :: Greece looks to reactivate P-3 Orion fleet

By: Dan Parsons Washington DC

Greece has moved a step closer to reactivating its Lockheed Martin P-3 Orion maritime surveillance aircraft, with the US State Department having on 7 October approved a requested $500 million modernisation deal.

To be performed by Lockheed via the Foreign Military Sales process, the move opens the door for Greece to overhaul and upgrade the aircraft, and purchase associated equipment, parts, training and logistical support, the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) says.

"The proposed sale for overhaul and upgrade would allow the Hellenic navy to resume operations of its P-3B aircraft for land-based maritime patrol and reconnaissance, surveillance and protection of areas of national interest," it adds.

Greece’s government requested the potential sale in order to modify and reactivate two P-3Bs and upgrade five P-3Bs that are in service, the State Department says. The aircraft would receive mid-life upgrades (MLU), phased depot maintenance, mission integration and management systems and new avionics systems.

“The MLU kits will provide service life extensions for 15,000 flight hours," the DSCA says.

Citation :: La Force Aérienne Grecque a retiré ses derniers A-7 Corsair II du service opérationnel

19 Octobre 2014

Au cours d'une cérémonie, organisée le Jeudi 16 et Vendredi 17 Octobre, la Force Aérienne Grecque (Hellenic Air Force) a officiellement retiré de son parc aéronautique les 28 derniers A-7 Corsair II qu'elle mettait en oeuvre.

Après 39 ans de bons et loyaux services, c'est sur la base aérienne d'Araxos, au centre de la Grèce, et au sein du dernier escadron grec, que les A-7EH pour les monoplaces, et que les TA-7H pour les biplaces, se sont posés pour la dernière fois de l'histoire, puisque la Grèce était le dernier pays opérateur du Corsair dans le monde.

Le Ministre grec de la Défense Dimitris Avramopoulos, entouré par des chefs d'Etat-Major, et d'anciens pilotes de chasse qui ont volé sur cet appareil, a déclaré que la Force Aérienne Grecque entrait dans une nouvelle ère, avec notamment les F-16 Block 50 et 52+, ou les Mirage 2000-5.

Afin de rendre un hommage à cet appareil si particulier, qui a volé avec les cocardes grecques pendant plus 440.000 heures de vol, des démonstrations ont été effectuées par des A-7 Corsair II, par le Solo Display grec évoluant sur F-16, ainsi que par des Mirage 2000-5, ou des RF-4E Phantom II. De plus, un A-7EH a reçu une livrée spéciale pour l'événement, pour le plus grand plaisir des photographes et du public, conviés à cette cérémonie.

Réceptionnés en 1975, les A-7 Corsair II de la Force Aérienne Grecque ont, dans les années qui ont suivi, reçu une modernisation, en particulier sur les équipements pour effectuer des vols de nuit, sur l'avionique, ainsi que sur le radar. Ces derniers temps, deux escadrons uniquement exploitaient cet appareil, le 335 Squadron "Tiger" et le 336 Squadron "Olympos", au sein du 116 Combat Wing.

Citation :: Greece replaces fast attack craft Penguin SSMs with Harpoon

Theodore L Valmas, Greece - IHS Jane's Navy International

26 November 2014

The Hellenic Navy is to replace the six Kongsberg Penguin surface-to-surface missiles (SSMs) fitted to its Laskos Combattante IIIb-class fast attack craft (FAC) HS Starakis (P29) with four Boeing RGM-84G Harpoon missiles, as the Norwegian missiles have reached their service expiration date.

Five Combattante IIIb FACs remain in service today. These were all built by Hellenic Shipyards S.A. in the early 1980s. They are known today as the Kavaloudis-class after Simeoforos Kavaloudis (P24), the first of the remaining five vessels. The missile suite is expected to be gradually replaced on all five, in a move that should cost no more than EUR20,000 (USD25,036) per vessel.
