The US aviation giant Boeing offered the 5^th generation chaser models to the Greek Air Forces. They are exceptional planes “Super Hornet,” the best on the global market, developed with top technology and they are applicable in different conditions and goals. Except delivery of the chasers, the offer of the US company includes a long-term agreement for cooperation with the Greek government and the Greek aviation industry.

Super Hornet has been developing for over 10 years by the American aviation constructors. The authors of the project are proud that the plane is characterized by low incident risk; flying possibilities in different conditions – naval, high mountains, desserts, fog; unpredicted expenses for support and long life cycle – the least 35 years; it has the possibility to be refueled in the air; low price per plane, which will fly for the next 35 years and possibility to update the software.

The construction of the chaser stipulates configurations for 300 different types of weapons, including the ones, which on armament in the Greek army. The whole equipment is compatible and answers all NATO standards. Super Hornet can depart of land on aircraft-carriers and does not need long runways – another advantage for the Greek conditions because many of the army bases in the Aegean are on small islands.

The new generation of chasers was tested at least for 500 000 flying hours. Right now, 506 Super Hornet planes are produced and 24 of them are delivered in Australia and the rest are for the US army. The price of one airplane depends on its configuration, which changes based on the conditions it will work in and the weapons it will use. The planes for the US army have a price of $53.8 million per one.
