Hellenic Artillery

The system is capable of firing guided and unguided projectiles to a distance of up to 42 km.Firing modern munitions it is capable of reaching out to 300 km.The M270 is a very mobile unit,thus well suited for the so called shoot-and-scoot tactic: it can fire its rockets very rapidly and immediately move away to avoid the counter-battery fire.
MLRS was developed jointly by the United Kingdom,United States,Germany and France.
The launcher can hold two pods at a time,which it loads using an integrated crane. All twelve rockets or two ATACMS missiles can be fired in under a minute.One launcher firing twelve rockets can completely blanket one square kilometer with submunitions. For this reason,the MLRS is sometimes referred to as the 'Grid Square Removal Service'.
RM-70 was developed in Czechoslovakia achieving initial operational capability with its Army in 1972. Originally,it was sold to East Germany.
The new carrier vehicle provides enough space for carrying 40 additional 122mm rockets pack for reload.This rocket launcher can fire both individual rounds and volleys,principally by means of indirect fire.It is designed for concentrated fire coverage of large areas by high explosive fragmentation shells.The fire is robust with almost 256 kg of explosives used in one volley of 40 rockets. The rockets used are either the original Soviet 9M22 and 9M28,or locally developed models. These are the JROF with a range of 20.75 km,the JROF-K with a range of 11 km,the "Trnovnik" with 63 HEAT-bomlets and with a range of 17.5 km, the "Kuš" with five PPMI-S1 anti-personnel mines or the "Krizhna-R" with 4 anti-tank mines PTMI-D and with a range of 19,450 m.
The PzH 2000 is one of the most powerful conventional artillery systems currently deployed. It is particularly notable for a very high rate of fire; in burst mode it can fire three rounds in 9 seconds,ten rounds.The replenishment of shells is automated.PzH 2000 has also been selected by the armies of Italy,Netherlands and Greece,and more orders are probable as many NATO forces replace their M109 howitzers.
The 9K33 Osa is a highly mobile, low-altitude,short-range tactical surface-to-air missile system.Its NATO reporting name is SA-8 "Gecko".
The Tor Missile System torus is a Russian made low to medium-altitude,short-range surface-to-air missile system designed for engaging
airplanes,helicopters,cruise missiles,
precision guided munitions,unmanned aerial vehicles and ballistic targets.It is designed to protect targets from attack at all times and in any weather,not only by shooting down attacking aircraft but also by destroying any munitions before they reach their target.
The MIM-104 Patriot is a surface-to-air missile system,the primary of its kind used by the United States Army and several allied nations. It is manufactured by the Raytheon Company of the United States.
Patriot uses an advanced aerial interceptor missile and high performance radar systems.
