Greece Approves €600 Million Purchase of Three C-390 Millennium Transport Aircraft to Replace U.S. C-130s
Greece has approved a €600 million procurement of three Embraer C-390 Millennium transport aircraft to replace its aging fleet of U.S.-made C-130 Hercules aircraft. The decision, reported by Army Recognition, marks a significant shift in Greece's military logistics capabilities, opting for the Brazilian-made multi-mission aircraft over potential American or European alternatives. The C-390 Millennium offers advanced cargo capacity, aerial refueling capability, and compatibility with NATO standards. This acquisition is part of Greece's broader defense modernization efforts, aiming to enhance its airlift capacity and reduce reliance on older platforms. The deal underscores growing international interest in the C-390, which has already been ordered by several other nations including Portugal, Hungary, and the Netherlands.
