Greek F-16V upgrades

The US State Department has approved a potential $2.4bn upgrade package for Greece’s F-16 fleet, which would bring the Hellenic Air Force’s existing 123-strong fleet of F-16C/Ds to F-16V standard and include up to 125 AN/APG-83 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars; a similar number of Modular Mission Computers (MMCs); Link 16 Multifunctional Information Distribution System – Joint Tactical Radio Systems (MIDS-JTRS); and LN260 embedded global navigation systems/ inertial navigation systems. The Hellenic Air Force currently flies F-16s in Block 30, Block 50, Block 52+ and Block 52+ advanced configurations.
