Why would Greece fear brits?

I can understand their problems with Turkey, but Englad?

France because cheese and wine, Greece because they spent billions and billions and billions on the military until a moment before their economy committed sudoku.

One + one does not equal both. France wants to be stronger than the UK because 'merrica. Greece wants to deter turkrape because it happened before and 'murica likes the turks more.

False. We have a tank battalion with Leopard 2A7s.

Also
>we have much better equipment in all branches
>way better navy with top tier air-defense destroyers, submarines and decent power projection with multiple LPDs
>way better marines, top 3 in the world
>way better air force with air lift and aerial refueling capabilities
>way better air defense, both ground-based and on our surface combatants
>actual combat experience with multiple ongoing deployments in Somalia, Iraq, Syria and on all seas

Meanwhile, Switzerland doesn't even defend their own airspace after 5 pm, kek.

We also don't even have enough bullets to practice with. We also have a tiny army of semi-professionals rather than a large army of conscripts. Switzerland can probably bring more men to the field AND give them enough bullets so they don't need to shout "BANG BANG" after five minutes.

Isn't that borrowed from Germany?

Well they're surrounded by EU and NATO members so who exactly are they supposed to defend against? Seems like a pretty sweat deal to me.

The F-35 is like pre-ordering an alpha product. The software is far from done. It's completely unsuited for service until such times that you don't have to reboot parts of the software suit in-flight.

its supposedly trash as fuck
allegedly we signed some NATO treaty in exchange for money and they were like
>"Dudes you dont even use 5.62 for your main small arms."
and we were like
>Oh shit they noticed, calling BRNO and UHERSKÝ BROD, we need 5.62 BREN rifle NOW!!!!!
so they chugged out some prototype with minimal testing, but luckily its like a lego, they are planning on
exchanging many guts and stuff

Not again. This was more of a logistical thing, since we doubled up our deployments in the Middle East, Africa and NATO maritime missions and it required that most of the supplies were directed to those operations.

>semi-professional
Just stop it dude.

>>59784712
By that logic half of Europe doesn't need an military at all

>>59784857
Yeah I kind of fucked up that one. Makes it even more retarded our military is considered less than yours.
>>
>>59784984
not at all its based on FN SCAR L, with the same piston and all I think.
except everything is czech made thus its little bit less shit even despite being
prototype of sorts. But eyy :DDD where else to test new rifles than on the battlefield xDD

I am sure we use only Slovaks for any dangerous missions anyway.

>>59785102
>By that logic half of Europe doesn't need an military at all
I don't know how you would come to such a conclusion. A lot of countries want and benefits from having a certain degree of power projection. Switzerland is not one those countries, since it's completely surrounded by other countries.
>>
>>59785233
And also because it stores vast quantities of Europe's wealth. Don't want to have your good stores go up in smoke so best defend Switzerland when they ask
>>
>>59780254
We have a capable commander in chief
>>
>>59785233
There are more countries in the same situation. Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Slovenia. Should they all disband their military and let surrounding countries cover for them? Sweden isn't even in NATO but I see you give them too much credit. It's nothing more than a false sense of security, especially with the US being openly unhappy about Europe's contribution to NATO and Trump already saying Europe needs to pull their own weight. I can see the US leaving NATO in the near future if it stays like this.

Also, besides not defending their airspace after 5 pm, there's also no air policing after 5 pm in Switzerland. That means if a plane is hijacked, they have to beg France to escort the plane. That happened a while ago I believe. I don't call that a sweat deal.

Not really

Slovebia have land dispute with croatia and italy

Hungary is full trianon with slovakia and romania

Only really comfy states are us, switzerland and austria
