Greece will begin negotiations for the procurement of a fourth Belharra-type frigate, in addition to the three built by France's Naval Group, National Defense Minister Nikos Dendias announced during the launch of the second such frigate in France on Thursday.

"With the acquisition of the F-35, the Hellenic Air Force acquires the first fifth-generation aircraft and enters a new era," Defence Minister Nikos Dendias said after Greece dispatched the signed Letter of Acceptance (LoA) to the United States on Thursday.
