On April 29 and 30, 2022, 130 M1117 Armored Reconnaissance Vehicles (TTOA-ASV) were received in Thessaloniki. This batch of vehicles is added to the rest 44 received in December 2021, as announced a few days ago by the Hellenic Army General Staff.
Proud to see 130 more M1117 Armored Security Vehicles delivered to 🇬🇷, arriving in Thessaloniki. By end of 2022, the U.S. will provide Greece a total of 1,200 ASVs, all at no cost, through our EDA program. The 🇺🇸🇬🇷 defense partnership is stronger than ever. @hndgspio @HAspokesman pic.twitter.com/Ldr0zBtJJQ

The M1117s are provided to our country through the US Excess Defence Articles (EDA) program and are used in reconnaissance and surveillance missions, significantly increasing the operational capabilities of the Hellenic Army, owing to their flexibility and enhanced armor.
The receipt of TTOA M1117 will continue in the next period of time as planned.
