Hellenic Navy acquiring latest version of the Exocet missile 

The Hellenic Navy is moving forward with the procurement of the latest version of the French-built Exocet missiles, after the program received approval from Parliament's special arms committee.

The procurement includes the acquisition of 16 MM-40 Block 3C missiles for 33 million euros, which will be integrated into the Rapid Patrol Missile inventory of the Rapid Missile Command, according to Kathimerini sources. 

The Parliament committee also approved a €15 million program for the acquisition of three Marine Protector patrol vessels to replace the aging vessels of the Surveillance Vessel Command.

There is growing optimism for the heavy torpedo program for Type 214 submarines, as a first round of high-performance torpedoes arrived in Salamina, close to Athens, a few days ago. Test firings are expected to begin in the coming months.
