According to the associated press, recently, the Greek parliament approved the bill of the Greek Ministry of defense on the new arms procurement plan. The plan includes the purchase of three new frigates from France and six new Rafale fighters. On January 14 this year, the Greek parliament approved the purchase agreement of 18 Rafale fighters previously reached with Dassault of France. Concept map of the new French frigate to be purchased by Greece. The bill, entitled "strengthening the national defense shield", has received strong support from the Greek ruling party. The main opposition parties voted in favor of the whole bill, but voted against the new purchase of Rafale fighters on individual terms. The opposition believes that Greece has fallen into a protracted debt crisis. Although defense spending has declined, its share in GDP has not decreased. In the "NATO national defense expenditure" report released by NATO over the years, the proportion of Greece's defense expenditure ranks among the top among Member States. In 2021, due to large arms purchases, Greece's defense expenditure accounted for 3.82%, surpassing the United States and ranking first in NATO. The opposition party criticized covid-19's new economic burden on the Greek economy, which has already been heavily damaged by the new crown pneumonia epidemic and huge debt. The purchase of 6 gust fighters will further hinder the economic development of Greece. In this regard, Greek defense minister panayotopoulos stressed that during the debt crisis, Greece's defense budget was repeatedly reduced, and there is an urgent need to modernize and upgrade the weapons and equipment of the Greek army at this stage. These weapons can help the Greek air force gain an advantage in possible future conflicts with neighboring countries (Turkey). As two neighboring countries surrounding the Aegean Sea, Greece and Turkey have major differences in the field of geographical conflicts, especially on the maritime boundary and natural gas exploitation rights of the Aegean Sea and the eastern Mediterranean Sea, based on historical grievances and practical interest contradictions. In 2020, there was a maritime military confrontation between Greece and Turkey. Since then, Greece has sought to strengthen its armed forces. In September 2021, Greek Prime Minister mizotakis and French President macron signed a purchase agreement on the purchase of three new frigates and announced the establishment of a strategic defense partnership between the two countries. After the adoption of the arms sales agreement, the strategic defense partnership between Greece and France will be further closer. In the future, if Greece conflicts with Turkey again, it is possible to obtain the support of France at the military and political levels. For France, the export of weapons and equipment to Greece, on the one hand, is conducive to the sustainable development of its military industry system, on the other hand, it is also conducive to France's corresponding interests in the dispute over oil and gas resources in the eastern Mediterranean.
