OnAlert Debunks Claims of Greece Supplying F-16s to Ukraine

Lockheed Martin has delivered the 30th upgraded F-16 Viper to the Hellenic Air Force, marking a key milestone in Greece's $997 million modernization program. This initiative enhances Greece’s air combat capabilities with advanced avionics, radar, and weapons systems while strengthening interoperability with allied forces.

Greek magazine OnAlert has refuted claims by Le Monde regarding Greece supplying F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.

Citing official sources, OnAlert clarified that not only were the jets not sold to Ukraine, but they remain an integral part of the Hellenic Air Force, slated for further modernization and operational use.

The Air Force has decided to retain the F-16s, equipping them with new capabilities, including the Link-16 data link system and advanced radars to support next-generation weaponry.

Additionally, OnAlert reported that the upgraded aircraft will be armed with Israeli SPICE 1000/2000 precision-guided bombs, transforming the 330th Fighter Squadron “Keravnos” into a dedicated attack squadron.
