Ground troops of Greece are a large formation and have quite a few modern, mainly Western equipment, mainly German and American production. There is practically no reliance on the products of home manufacture or method thought, although the Greeks keep autonomous service capabilities in many categories of equipment. The advantage of the Greek army is the number and advanced quality of training of soldiers, but it is clear that the equipment utilized is based on equipment purchased in better years for the Greek economy and presently only tiny purchases are made without a large imagination for their modernization.
