The older F-16s are the survivors of 34 single-seat F-16C and six two-seat F-16D Block 30 jets that were procured under the Peace Xenia I Foreign Military Sales program and delivered between 1988 and 1990.
Today, the Block 30 jets are consolidated within a single Hellenic Air Force squadron, 330 Mira, and they have undergone the Falcon UP service-life extension, meaning they still have some valuable flight hours remaining.
However, they are notably less capable than Greece’s later-model F-16C/Ds, which comprise Block 50, Block 52+, and finally Block 52+ Advanced variants.



It’s unclear exactly how many of these aircraft will arrive in Ukraine for combat use, with others being held back for training in Europe, and yet more constituting a strategic reserve for Ukraine in other NATO countries.
It’s important to note that, unlike these other F-16 operators, Greece is not part of the European Participating Air Forces (EPAF), so its aircraft have not undergone the same upgrades that provide a broad commonality across the relevant fleets.
At the same time, it’s hard to imagine Kyiv turning down the offer of more F-16s if this is formalized.
If Greece is indeed set on expanding its arms transfer to Ukraine, there will surely be renewed calls for the country to send much-needed S-300 long-range surface-to-air missile systems. As an outlier within NATO, Greece has fairly significant stocks of Soviet-era and Russian-made air defense systems, and early this year there were reports that Athens could be ready to provide some of these to Ukraine.
In January this year, reports in the Greek media suggested that the country might be prepared to transfer its S-300 battery to Ukraine, as a condition of the United States approving the sale of F-35A stealth fighters to Athens. Prime Minister Mitsotakis later said that transferring the S-300 would create a gap in Greece’s air defenses, although this is a decision that could likely still be overturned if the conditions were right.
As it stands, Ukraine arguably has an even greater need for long-range ground-based air defenses than it does for more F-16s, a requirement that could be fulfilled in part by Greek S-300s, which also offer a significant degree of commonality with Ukraine’s Soviet-era air defense systems.
For many years now, the fate of Greece’s Block 30 F-16s has been uncertain. If the latest reports are accurate, it looks as if, in Ukraine, these still-potent jets may finally find a new home.

Greek F-16C/Ds Lined Up For Ukraine: Report

Greece could become the next European NATO F-16 operator to provide surplus fighters to Ukraine with dozens of Block 30 C/D models. Greece could become the next European NATO F-16 operator to provide surplus fighters to Ukraine.

With Greece stuff it is interesting that we not likely will know IF Greece will transfer only missiles for S-300 and will not transfer battery.....
Yes, biggest problem for Ukr S-300 is that their complexes are old and....lack of sufficient stockpiles with missiles.....

Russia is an enemy of CIA neocon scum which has hijacked America. I'd bet anything if Hilary Clinton won in 2016 the war would have started then. As long as these people are in power in America then Russia will be an "enemy" If Trump wins our relationship with Russia will turn to neutral overnight and thus the CIA neocons tried to assassinate him.

But they did.

You can't be this naive? You really believe CIA hired a 20 year old with zero training to take out former US president? The guy couldn't join his high school's shooting team due to his poor marksmanship. Boy were they right in that....

The guy didn't even have a fundamental understanding of marksmanship that is taught to all military and law enforcement personnel. He didn't even aim center mass.

This guy had a chance of a life time to do something that hadn't been done since JFK and thankfully failed. Had he been even slightly better with his aim or training, Trump would be dead. Trained countersnipers shot him in the head 3 times. That shows what trained snipers vs untrained 20 year kid could do.

Would-be Trump assassin tried to join high school shooting club, was rejected for being ‘comically bad’ shot

Nah, just let's ignore that all communist and marxist countries out there are allies with Russia, that all the far left movements in Latin America, Europe and Africa are all Russian supporters.

Just like in Poland 1939, Commies and Fascists go hand to hand, weird to see the GOP to be allied with commies right now.

No

I'm sure when it was happening you we're comparing Bush to Hitler and pushing for the western powers to send 100B to Iraq in military equipment to defend their sovereignty and accusing anyone who disagreed of being a "Bushler puppet" and bot.

Kind of hard to send help to Iraq when the US took down Saddam in less than a month.

Oddly we stayed for years and killed 1M people. I'm sure you were comparing Bush to Hitler and pushing for military aid to Iraq.

Unfortunately this only small part of considerably bigger plan in road to achieve world hegemony.
Russia is increasing relationships with North Korea and Iran, is suspected that might have ties with HAMAS and Housites in Yemen...

Both countries Russia and Iran economically are interested to hike up crude oil and gold prices...cos they are producing this stuff...plain and simple.

North Korea and Iran hates U.S and Europe, South Korea and Japan....a lot ....
North Korea even repeatedly during last 10 years on monthly basis had declared that they are preparing for big scale war, sanctions doesn't work and they will continue and increase their weapons and missiles tests in order to prepare for fight vs satanic west. Kim in open text had declared that U.S is enemy and should be obliterated sooner or later.

Not likely for you is worth to waste time with chatbot operator using multiple accounts here. Had you saw that he claimed how bad according to him were posts here during last 4 years despite this " professional " troll does have so much accounts in xx social networks that even had forget to lurk in journals in order to see how " old " is profile no xxx he is using to post here?
Jesus.

So who would America be sending weapons to? because im quite certain America armed Iraqi government to the teeth.

I'm sure you were comparing Bush to Hitler and pushing for military aid to Iraq.

Sure.

I here do have one real question: for example Finland had purchased weapons from U.S and had ordered to purchase a lot. Now big question Is will Briben allow to use them to strike his loved friends in Matushka or will attempt to block to use overrated weapons sold for huge price? Will Briben's administration woke up or no? Why Briben is better than Trump? I don't see this.
It is cheaper to purchase weapons from China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, Iran etc and remowe GPS usage option before use them.
Will pro russian oriented Briben administration allow Finland to use F-35 they will sell for Finland against iden friends in Matushka ? Really? Israel at least had changed electronics a bit in order in reality to get their aircraft from Briben control and Biden is the same as Trump not different. Also wery boring specimens.

Lithuanian lawmaker ( parliament ) had voted to permit purchase, produce, store and use cluster ammunition. Support for this decision was surprisingly high 96% votes YES. In order to be " in force " this should be signed by President while not likely it will be problem: Lithuanian president is hardcore cluster ammo supporter....
