Yesterday a communist-antifa organisation held a protest outside a high school in Stavroupoli, Thessaloniki. Students from the school attacked and dispersed the communists. Two of the communists were injured.

Today, (29/09) the communists went to that school to protest once more, with students again fighting the communist threat, armed with sticks and stones and flashbangs. Police presence is strong, use of chemicals has been made by the police.

Various (probably communist) organisations from the AUTh (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) have condemned the attack and called the school children "right wing fascists".

🔸 The deal is for the acquisition of 3 Belharra frigates with the possibility of procuring a fourth unit

These are ships of smaller displacement, which Navy officers characterize as powerful and that cover the daily operational needs of the Aegean. Their delivery is estimated to take place after the frigates, without a clear date at this time.

🔴 Greece made a deal to buy frigates, but what armaments do they have exactly?
>https://archive.is/3Vvq9

🔸 According to reports, the Belharra frigates have a radar that would be able to cover an area from Evros to the Cypriot EEZ, with their Sea Fire radar that could cover up to 200km and locate targets before they know the precise location of the frigate, which could be engaged by the ASTER 30 missiles, which have the reputation of never failing and a range of 120 Km

🔸 French frigates also excel in anti-submarine warfare , as they have state-of-the-art systems that can detect even the quietest submarines

🔸 The Greek Belharras will have heavier armaments than the French, as they will be equipped with a new generation of EXOCET missiles that can hit enemy ships as well as coastal targets, a 76 mm cannon, a 21-missile RAM self-defense system and all of these will be controlled with the SETIS battle system

‼️ SCALP EG cruise missiles could also become an option, with range of 800 Km
