When was the decision to acquire the 4th Belharra and how did the fiscal space for its purchase arise?
The supply of a fourth type frigate Belharrathe Minister of National Defense Nikos Dendias announced from the shipyards of the Naval Group in Lorient, France yesterday.
In the context of the announcement of this new market by Greece, the background that preceded the decision is of particular interest.
According to the report, last week, a meeting was held under Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, at the Maximos Palace, in the presence of the Minister of National Defense, the head of the Greek Army and the National Security Advisor Thanos Dokos.
At this meeting it was decided to find the necessary fiscal space to further strengthen the Navy through the acquisition of the fourth Belharra.
In addition, a decision was made to partially modernize the MEKO frigates in order to save money on the acquisition of Belharra.
The cost of acquiring the new frigate is no different than in the past, as we are buying them for almost a billion, price “locked in” from 2021.
In any case, their real price today is much higher due to the appreciation of all raw materials.
It is noted that in the same meeting the modernization of the Vosper missiles and the program of the new submarines were also decided.
