Discussions on the Upgrade of Leonidas Armored Vehicles

February 15, 2026

The Cypriot Ministry of Defense aims to upgrade about 300 armored vehicles of the 'Leonidas' type to enhance operational readiness. However, Greece has reservations about this initiative, preferring to focus on upgrading other vehicle types. The upgrade proposal comes from the Greek company EODH and includes targeted improvements. Implementing the program requires Greece's participation, which has not been confirmed yet. Despite the doubts, the upgrade could benefit cooperation between the two countries.
