Greek Army Vehicles & Equipment

Photo Balkanmodels: Thessaloniki August 2016. There is a second plane behind the stored F5 but I cannot tell if it is an F4 an A8 or a Mirage F1C.

The plane behind the F5 is an F4. You can see that clearly from the elevators that are facing downwards. A-8 Crusader was never on the Greek Roster...you mean of course A-7.

Cheers

You are absolutely right Andreas, I meant A-7...

...and here are some trainer jets at Kalamata airport last Easter.

Now, that we are very close to have some original OSE transporters for our HO Military drills, let's have a look at the loads

The basic unit of the Greek Army Armored Corps is the ουλαμός oulamos = platoon
Following the standard NATO formations each platoon had initially five tanks but since 1992 they were reduced to four
A Company, Ίλη (Ili) is formated by: three platoons (ουλαμοί), a HQ section (two tanks), a maintenance section with recovery tank and mobile workshop and a supply section.

I don't know the way the that MVs are transported by rail and I guess this is not our point, unless we intend to organize a coup at Jonmood's layout
I'm going to model a consist following the available photos. Something like 4 or 5 tanks and a recovery one would make a good combination.

Here is a bunch of six M48A5 on a train. Note that the flatbeds are mixed 1990 East German and 1944 old Americans.



I'll have a look at my downloaded photos, I'm sure I have some good examples of similar loads.
since then have a look at a Leopard 1 A4 shot during the 1992 25th March parade.
