I have gathered from SIPRI (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute) every information about transfers of weapons to Greece from 1950 to 2007.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Transfers of major conventional weapons: sorted by supplier. Deals with deliveries or orders made for year range 1950 to 2007

Note: The ‘No. delivered/produced’ and the ‘Year(s) of deliveries’ columns refer to all deliveries since the beginning of the contract. Deals in which the recipient was involved in the production of the weapon system are listed separately. The ‘Comments’ column includes publicly reported information on the value of the deal. Information on the sources and methods used in the collection of the data, and explanations of the conventions, abbreviations and acronyms, can be found at URL . The SIPRI Arms Transfers Database is continuously updated as new information becomes available.
