The US is reportedly discussing with Greece the sale of a total of 75,000 artillery shells from the Hellenic Armed Forces’ stockpile, as part of the effort to replenish Ukrainian ammunition in the war against Russia.

Specifically, the Americans will buy a total of 50,000 105 mm, 20,000 155 mm, and 5,000 203 mm rounds. According to Kathimerini, negotiations are in the final phase. The total price negotiated by the Greek side is $47 million.

These negotiations have been useful for the Greek side not only in terms of benefits, as a resource is secured, which will be used by the Hellenic Armed Forces, but also to make it clear that the production of ammunition can be more widely profitable.
