Greece to buy new fighter jets and warships

Greece is to buy six new and six second-hand F18 Rafale fighter jets from France as well as new frigates, Greek prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced this weekend, amid heightened tensions with Turkey. He praised as a "positive first step" Turkey's decision to return an oil-drilling ship from Greek-claimed waters. "We want to talk with Turkey but in a climate without provocations," he said.
