Proto Thema piece says Lockheed rep advised against upgrading the ageing Orions http://www.protothema.gr/politics/article/468872/omologia-vomva-tis-lockheed/ … "deal not in interest of Greece"

@asteris EAB staff are highly trained engineers, with degrees in aeronautical design, metallurgy etc. We need bright scientists working. -
.
@ecpoir €500m isn't peanuts, at a time when the govt is seizing public sector funds by decree to pay debts -
@asteris I agree, but it won't be paid in 2015. I think only 35 mill. from that deal is payable in 2015. -
@ecpoir that's the largest problem, we keep mortgaging the future. On a clear day, you can see debts forever. -
@asteris My point is, if we MUST pay for weapons, I prefer to pay EAB (a Greek State industry) than any foreign company.
