The upgrade of F-16s and Mirage airplanes draft bill was voted by the Parliament plenary on Friday night, on ruling New Democracy, the Movement for Change (KINAL) and Greek Solution votes, according to ANA.
Defending the draft bill, National Defense Minister Nikos Panagiotopoulos called on MPs to vote for it because it improves the deterrent abilities of F-16s, and enables all Mirage airplanes to provide protection to the entire Aegean Sea and the Hellenic Navy to procure the necessary spare parts.
