Default Re: No ERA for Greece, why?

Thank you for your replies.

I am absolutely sure they don't have ERA.

Some info I found since my last post.

A)Extra weight was the main reason no ERA was placed on the Leo2s. They are quite heavy as they are and where they might operate (Thrace) not exactly the most tank friendly terrain available. There is talk about some active countermeasures to be installed on them, don't remember the name now, but one of them is of Israeli design.

B)I forgot.


Marek, there were reports that Kornet-E were used against Israeli tanks in Lebanon in the last conflict there and that they were the main reason behind the destruction/damage against several of IDF's tanks. I wasn't paying much attention there (other things) so, were those tanks protected by ERA? Of course Kornet-E at least in theory has a way to bypass ERA, but still, would be nice to know.
