The S-300 in the parade of March 25 in Athens!

The Athenians and others who will watch the big military parade in Athens on March 25th anniversary, will have the opportunity to see the Russian anti-aircraft missile system S-300 up close.

And this for the first time since the day it moved in our country and particularly in Crete, the system will be officially presented to Greek citizens participating in a military parade. As known, a little before the end of 2013, for the 11th Squadron Guided Missiles dawned a new era, as the first shot of S-300 in our country was successfully held.

The participation of 11th Squadron Guided Missiles in the parade has a special symbolism, as after years of uncertainty and difficulties, the recent firing system came to confirm the operational readiness of the system, putting new foundations in the use of S-300 in the Greek air defense network. Planned for 2014 is one more shot of the system at the Field Firing of Crete, as announced by leadership of the Armed Forces.
