Что такое ВПГ ?

Произошла ужасная опечатка!!!
Имелось ввиду ВПК ( Военно-промышленный комплекс)

вроде пистолеты делают по немецкой лицензии(HK)

В ЗВО за 89-92 год была неплохая статья, там было подробно описано, я бы помог, но журналы утерялись при переезде, попробуй в библиотеках посмотри или на их сайте.

Боеприпасы, стрелковое оружие - этим они себя обеспечивают. Тоже касается легкой бронетехники. Вроде еще что-то делают по мелочи по программе Еврофайтер. Очевидно строят небольшие корабли. Но точно ничего не скажу.

Кстати, интересный вопрос. Я посмотрел немного по рунету, ничего не встретил.

DEFENCE EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS TOP

The Hellenic armed forces and defence industry are in limbo as they await approval of the National Defence Plan and Force Structure 2005-10 and arms acquisition programme, delayed due to the March 2004 change in government and the subsequent discovery of a gaping hole in the Greek budget.

Greece's armed forces are being slowly shaped by the increasing demands for interoperability between allied armies, the falling Greek population and the consequent drop in conscript numbers. Armed forces are being steadily modernised and expanded, mainly as a result of national concern over Turkey's larger military forces. Emphasis is being placed on introducing new technology and increasing military flexibility. Communications facilities are also being improved.

Greece launched a major arms build-up in 1997, covering combat aircraft, MBTs, submarines and other equipment. However, acquisition and modernisation plans ran into some difficulties in 2001, when the government decided in March to cut USD4.74 billion from its five-year procurement plan and postpone the acquisition of 60 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter aircraft until after 2004.

Due to increasing and global security concerns, but also to managerial irresponsibility, Greece was faced with huge financial responsibilities in the funding of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. The cost of the Games had an immediate impact in the allocation of the Greek budget and generated procurement difficulties caused by funding problems.

Army Procurement TOP

Land Forces Requirements TOP

Main battle tanks

The biggest army contract is for 170 Leopard 2HEL MBTs, 12 Rheinmetall Landsysteme Buffel armoured recovery vehicles (ARVs), eight Leopard 1 Leguan armoured vehicle-launched bridges (AVLBs), two driving simulators, a four-turret firing simulator and a 13-place simulator for the Iniochos fire-control system. Greece's Ministry of Defence had originally sought bids for an armoured package comprising 246 MBTs with an option on 250 more vehicles but this was reduced to 170 vehicles. The contract is worth EUR1.7 billion and deliveries are planned for 2006-09.

In the interim, the army expects to receive 182 Leopard 2A4 MBTs, 20 Leopard 1 Standard ARVs and 10 Leopard 1 Biber AVLBs, while 232 Leopard 1A5s will be transferred to the army free of charge, together with 16 Leopard 1 ARVs from Germany.

On completion of the Leopard 2HEL deliveries, the Hellenic Army will have a uniform fleet of Leopard 1A5/2A4/2HEL MBTs, complemented by a number of M48A5 MOLF MBTs, amounting to a total 1,250 MBTs against a Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty ceiling of 1,735.

In the late 1990s the Greek Army received 170 surplus Leopard 1A5 MBTs from Germany, greatly boosting its existing Leopard fleet.

Air defence systems

The delivery of 54 Rheinmetall Defence Electronics ASRAD Hellas systems, ordered in 2000, are an important addition to the army's light Anti-Aircraft defence battalions posted in Thrace and the eastern Aegean islands. The first four units have been mounted on the AM General High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) chassis already used by the army for a number of specialised roles.

The remaining 50 are being integrated in Greece by Hellenic Defence Systems with final deliveries due in 2006. ELVO/AMG of Greece is providing the upgraded HMMWV chassis.

Greece has been taking delivery from Russia of Tor M-1 Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAM) systems, which were divided between the army, air force and Cyprus. For other details of air defence missile procurement see under Air Force Modernisation.

MLRS

As regards boosting firepower, in late September 1998, the US Department of Defence announced the proposed sale of USD245 million of rockets and rocket launcher equipment to the Greek Army. The package comprised 18 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS), 146 extended-range rocket pods, 81 Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) plus 11 command post carriers, 162 M26 rockets and assorted related equipment. Lockheed Martin Vought System was the prime contractor for this matériel. Deliveries of the ATACMS missiles were completed in 1998. Greece began its acquisition of MLRS launchers in 1994.

Because a single MLRS launcher can put more than two tons of explosive on a target in one minute and its full load of 12 rockets can cover 30 to 60 acres with thousands of grenade-like submunitions, the Greek Army's acquisition of this equipment represented a very significant upgrading of its capabilities. Each of the submunitions in an MLRS rocket has about the same explosive power as a hand grenade and contains a shaped charge that allows it to penetrate light armour. The system can operate day and night in all weather and engage both tube and rocket artillery, air defence concentrations, trucks, light armour and personnel carriers, as well as support troops and supply concentrations.

Artillery

In Q2 2003, Greece received 24 155 mm PzH 2000 Self-Propelled artillery systems from the German company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW). The contract includes a complete suite of ammunition, artillery command-and-control system, training package and MAN 6 × 6 ammunition support vehicles. The support vehicles are ex-German army systems which were originally used for the 110 mm Light Artillery Rocket System that has now been phased out of service with the Germany Army. These are being modified in Greece and fitted with a mechanical handling system that will carry pallets of 155 mm ammunition including projectiles and charges. The first systems were handed over in May 2003 and the remaining arrived in 2004. The army is looking to acquire a further 24, but prospects for this are remote given the tight budget.

Other systems

Army aviation capability was boosted by the purchase of seven additional Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopters.

It was reported in 1999 that the Hellenic Army had decided to buy an additional 25 Panhard VBL light reconnaissance vehicles from France, bringing the total number acquired to 52. The additional vehicles are available to the 71st Airborne brigade (formerly known as Infantry Brigade), which operates the existing fleet of reconnaissance vehicles.

It was learned in late 2000 that the Greek Army had ordered 12 Zusana 155 mm Self-Propelled Guns (SPGs) from the Slovak company ZTS Defence, part of the DMD Group. The weapons were received in 2001 and immediately offered to and accepted by Cyprus.

As part of the off-set clause of the Kornet-E deal, a number of Krasnopol anti-armorial artillery munitions have been delivered to the Hellenic Army. To enhance the capability of its growing fleet of light armoured vehicles, the Greek Supreme Military Council decided in February 2001 to embark on moves to buy a Russian Anti-Tank weapon, the Kornet-E guided missile system. In the first phase of the acquisition, 98 systems were received, and an additional 98 weapons are expected to be handed over by the end of 2004 in a second phase. They have already been tested in northern Greece.

In 2002, the Greek Defence Ministry signed a contract with SAGEM for the supply to the army of two Sperwer Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), dedicated to area surveillance and localisation of target, especially in areas of difficult accessibility. They had not been handed over as of the start of 2005.

Land Forces Modernisation TOP

Leonidas upgrade

The army has embarked on a programme to upgrade the domestically built Leonidas APCs. They had their manual transmission systems replaced by a German ZF-supplied automatic transmission.

Kentaurus upgrade

With the future introduction of the Leopard 2, the Hellenic Army requires Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFV) with improved armour, mobility and firepower. In August 2002, the Greek Ministry of Defence named Hellenic Vehicle Industry SA (ELBO) a prime contractor in the development of the next generation of Kentaurus IFVs for the Hellenic Army. ELBO must present three proposals. It appears that the first concerns Kentaurus, the second Ascod (Steyr) and the third, CV-90 Alvis-owned Hagglunds. The decision is to be taken in 2005, with the Ascod as the best for the army (though the most expensive), while the army itself seems to favour the Hagglunds.

The two-year development contract is expected to cover improvements in the area of firepower and mobility. It will also have the same command, control and navigation system as the Leopard 2 main battle tank. The Rheinmetall E8 turret with the Mauser 30 mm MK 30 cannon and 7.62 mm machine gun will be retained but the fire-control system will be enhanced by the installation of the latest STN ATLAS Elektronik third-generation Saphir thermal imager and a CCCD with two fields of view. Suspension will be upgraded with new torsion bars and upgraded rotary dampers will be fitted from Horstman Defence. The current MTU 6V 183 TE22 V-90 diesel developing 420 hp will be replaced by the latest MTU 199 series diesel engine. This would cover the supply of 280 Kentaurus IFVs in two batches each of 140 vehicles. The first batch would be funded in the current five-year defence plan and the second batch in the 2006 to 2010 period.

The Hellenic Army is evaluating amphibious armored fighting vehicles to be used by the marines' brigade. The two candidate types are the AA7V and the Russian BMP-3F/M; the US AAV was also a candidate but it was withdrawn by the US since it is still undergoing trials.

Communications upgrade

In 1999 the Greek defence ministry awarded a contract valued in excess of USD160 million to Hellenic Aerospace Industry (HAI) to upgrade and expand the Hellenic Army's Hermes area communications system. The Hermes 1 system was originally delivered in 1993-94 by Siemens Defence Electronics of Germany for use by the Hellenic Army General Staff. Under Hermes 2, system coverage is to be extended to cater for the field communications needs of the Hellenic Ground Forces (formerly First Army), by adding additional packet, circuit, and automatic message switching, plus mobile subscribers access facilities.

Air Force Procurement TOP

Requirements TOP

A critical issue facing the air force is the block obsolescence of 140 aircraft, namely its non-modernised 25 F-4Es, 23 RF-4Es and 96 A-7E/H Corsair IIs, which are to be gradually withdrawn from service, from 2006.

Fighters

Because of financial constraints, in May 2001, the Greek government postponed any decision on the purchase of 60 Eurofighters. The option for 30 additional aircraft is also uncertain. Greece has been in the process of acquiring 15 Mirage 2000s and 50 US-built F-16s, with an option to purchase a further 10 F-16s. The defence ministry also expressed an interest in the Russo-French MiG-AT training aircraft in October 2003.

Athens is upgrading 10 of the existing fleet of 36 Mirage 2000EG fighters to the 2000-5 standard. In 1999 the service had two squadrons of Mirage 2000EGs, but plans were drawn up to operate one squadron of new-build and upgraded Mirage 2000-5 Mk2s and one squadron of Mirage 2000EGs. The Mirage 2000-5 Mk 2s are being delivered from January 2005 until late 2006.

F-16

Greece is the lead customer for the Block 52+ variant of the F-16, and it received the first five of a 1999 order for 60 in April 2003. The total order is worth over USD2.5 billion as part of the Peace Xenia III programme, and marks the third production order for the F-16 design by Greece, which previously received 80 of the aircraft. The Block 52+ fleet consists of 40 F-16C and 20 F-16D aircraft, the latter fully "missioned" for training and deep-strike missions.

Deliveries of Advanced Block 52 versions of F-16C/D Fighting Falcon began in April 2003 (Lockheed Martin)


Fire-fighters

A major air force procurement was the January 1999 order for 10 Canadair CL-415GR fire-fighting aircraft which are being supplied by Canadair's parent, Bombardier Aerospace. Eight were eventually delivered in the firefighting role, and a further two for maritime surveillance.

Trainers

A pressing project is the acquisition of a new advanced lead-in trainer, as the 40 Rockwell T-2E Buckeyes currently in service are inadequate. Following the acquisition of new fighter aircraft, this project seems to come next in importance, according to the air force, which hopes to be able to issue a request for invitations in 2006 in order to have the first aircraft in 2008-09. Prospective contenders include the Aermacchi M346, the BAE Systems Hawk, the Lockheed/KAI T-50 Golden Eagle and the EADS Mako.

Greece is a key partner in the EU's Eurotrainers project, but has threatened to withdraw from the project should it be refused the management of the project, given that it will be the major purchaser. Athens wants to be clear by July 2005 in the procedures regarding the Eurofighter.

Raytheon Aircraft supplied the HAF with 45 T-6A training aircraft, with an option for a further five, to replace its T-37s and T-41s in a contract worth more than USD200 million. The package included a ground-based training system and logistic support. These were received in the third quarter of 2002.

Helicopters

By late 1999, the Hellenic Air Force had decided to buy six Eurocopter AS 532 Cougar MkII helicopters for combat, search and rescue missions. The contract, valued at EUR100 million, was signed in January 2001; it comprises a 100 per cent offset commitment to the benefit of Greek industry. The first two helicopters were delivered on 1 September 2003.

In August 2003, the Greek Army signed a USD716 million agreement with Eurocopter for the purchase of 20 NH90 twin-engine transport helicopters. The NH90s will partially replace the ageing UH-1 Huey helicopters by Bell Helicopter Textron. An option for 20 further helicopters might be exercised, therefore abandoning the modernisation of the existing UH-1H Huey fleet. This will increase the army's ability to transport a larger number of forces. They will be delivered between 2005 and 2009.

In June 1999 the US approved the sale of four AH-64A

GREEK DEFENCE INDUSTRY: An Olympian effort
Theodore L Valmas JDW Correspondent
Athens

The Greek defence industry is reforming to meet the twin challenges of shrinking budgets and changing market requirements. Theodore Valmas reports

The Greek defence industry is undergoing a transformation in order to meet market requirements and the challenge of shrinking defence budgets. It relies almost exclusively on in-country contracts or offset spin-offs from its Ministry of National Defence (MND) export purchases.

Despite the government's best intentions to support industry, there have been few prime contractorships for Greek companies. The situation is exacerbated by the government's battles to maintain defence funding in the face of tough economic conditions, rising social welfare costs and the need for substantial investment for the Olympics, which are being held in Athens in 2004.

The effort to develop an efficient industrial base, to support the Hellenic Armed Forces' procurement programmes, started in 1976, when the Defence Industry Directorate (DID) was established within the MND.

Until the DID's foundation, the only large defence manufacturer was the privately owned Hellenic Powder and Cartridge Company (Pyrkal).

The founding of the state-owned Hellenic Arms Industry (EBO) and the Hellenic Aerospace Industry (EAV) was followed by the nationalisation of the Hellenic Vehicles Industry ( ELBO) (formerly Steyr-Hellas), as well as the nationalisation of shipyards at Skaramangas and Elefsis.

In 1982, the Association of Greek Defence Equipment Manufacturers (SEKPY) was formed to assist small and medium enterprises (SMEs) taking part in major defence deals, usually as subcontractors. SMEs are key to the Greek defence industry as a way for large international companies to meet government- tendering requirements and procedures have been introduced in an effort to smooth their participation.

Recently, the MND implemented a significant change in procurement contracts, increasing the minimum amount submitted for offsets, from EUR1 million ($1.1 million) to EUR10 million.

Greek industry sources say that the government's policy of increased local input for purchases has helped; but the benefits are limited because of the small size and lack of variety in local industry.

A more general revision of the tendering system is under way but the MND remains tight-lipped on the scope or timelines of the investigation. There is no doubt that offsets have been a boon for some sections of the industry such as electronics (Intracom and EAV), shipbuilding and engineering companies, particularly heavy engineering specialist METKA in the case of the latter.

The MND has turned its attention to improving long-term planning of major armament programmes to boost the chances of Greek industry taking part.

Secretary General of Economic Planning and Defence Investments, Spyros Travlos, believes the key lies in ensuring subcontractors are reliably tied to prime contractors before MND final signature.

"We will insist on the signing of contracts between Greek subcontractors and prime contractors before signing the main contract,'' Travlos says. "Greek industry is participating at an increasing rate in the co-production of equipment by adding high-value aspects, such as electronics and sensors. Long-term planning will promote this development, while participation in European development programmes will further enhance the technological basis of the industry.

"Within the framework of the Greek presidency of the European Union [in the first half of 2003], a significant initiative [was] undertaken to promote the harmonisation of research at an EU level, aiming at concentrating efforts on developing cutting-edge technologies."

Talking to Jane's Defence Weekly, Travlos says the defence and industrial base of Greece has been strengthened through a process of restructuring with the active encouragement and support of the government.

The two shipyards have been returned to the private sector and 47% of ELBO is now owned by the Mitilineos group.

He also says the defence industry's integration into the emerging European defence equipment markets is vital.

"Increased competitiveness, concentration on high-value added activities and increased spending on research, development and joint European programmes, will pave the way for the Greek industry to consolidate and grow in a more competitive market environment," Travlos says.

Key to improving the industries, according to Travlos, has been restructuring and privatisation.

"The full privatisation of the two shipyards in 2000, the partial privatisation of ELBO in 2000 and the merger of Pyrkal with EBO [in the ammunition and light-arms sector], which is ongoing, have gradually transformed the domestic defence industry, in the space of five years, speeding up financial restructuring and the modernisation of equipment," he says.

"A strategic re-orientation of the armaments programme with compulsory co-production clauses in international contracts and the direct assignment of contracts to domestic industries has resulted in a tenfold increase in industry's involvement in Greek defence procurement contracts. Industry's market share within a decade rose from 2% in the early 1990s to 20% in 2003.

"The introduction of compulsory co-production limits in major procurement projects has greatly benefited a growing number of industrial corporations not confined to the defence sector but also extending to metal products, cables and electronics."

Travlos points to an agreement between EAV and NH 90 manufacturer NH Industries, in which the Greek company will produce composite parts for the multirole helicopter as an example of a successful offset deal.

Travlos says that funding from the MND has refocused towards two areas: high-technology sectors and development programmes for systems specified by the armed forces, such as small submarines and fast boats, long-range ammunition and the new 5.56mm assault rifle.

Greek defence industries participate in all major contracts of the armed forces, in some as prime contractors.

Skaramangas Shipyards is at the forefront of the Greek prime contractors. It is prime for three submarines designed by HDW of Germany, which also purchased a substantial interest in the ship. HDW is building the first boats, while Hellenic Shipyards will build the remainder to the HDW design.

Elefsis Industrial Enterprises won the contract to construct five (three, plus an option of two) Super Vita 62m fast attack missile craft for the Hellenic Navy. The ships are being built at the Elefsis yard near Athens. VT of the UK provides the design, construction support, ship equipment and logistic-support services to Elefsis. The option for the additional two Super Vitas was exercised in July.

Elefsis delivered an Etna-class small replenishment oiler HS Prometheus (A 374) to the Hellenic Navy on 8 July that had been constructed under licence from Italy's Fincantieri.

Elefsis Industrial Enterprises, in co-operation with VT, is working on the navy's new corvette programme. The Government Council for Defence and Foreign Policy signed for the procurement of one ship, while an option remains for a second.

The most important Hellenic Army procurement programme under way concerns 150 new infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), and an option for 130, with ELBO as prime contractor. ELBO is expected to announce the three candidate types to the army shortly. ELBO is offering its own design, the Kentaurus, against a heavier version of the Austrian-Spanish ASCOD. It is expected that a third alternative, the Swedish CV 90, will also be evaluated.

Greek defence industries are participating in several important programmes connected with more than 20 contracts signed by the General Secretariat for Economic Planning and Defence Investment (see 'Main Programmes', page 24).

The commitment by the Greek government to buy 90 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter aircraft in March 2000 should have been a windfall for the country's aerospace industry in the short term with deliveries planned to begin in 2005 (Jane's Defence Weekly 15 March 2000).

A budget crisis, a leap in welfare expenditure and the need to divert money to infrastructure works in preparation for the 2004 Olympics in Athens has forced the programme on to the backburner. EAV's extensive involvement in the HAF's F-16 Block 52 upgrade is a demonstration of capability, but areas of in-country work or offsets have not been finalised.

EAV's leading role in the upgrade of the HAF's F-4E Phantom aircraft to Peace Icarus 2000 is another sign of capability.

Government plans to sell 49% of EAV were abandoned in late 2000 when offers from the Eurofighter partners and a French consortium were rejected and a new bidding process announced. This has not yet started.
