LAND
The Hellenic ARMY consists of roughly 15,000 standing professional elite permenant personnel, with an additional 120,000 conscripts currently employed.  In its inventory the Hellenic ARMY has roughly 2,000 main battle tanks and 400 light tanks.  The M-16 is the weapon of choice for the infantry, while Sniping is achieved with a lethaly acurate local production called the KIFEV.  The Hellenic ARMY is a truly efficient military machine.
Tanks
The Hellenic ARMY is currently on a procurement program, and is soon to make a decision on its new MBT (Main Battle Tank).  The British company Vickers and the Greek company ELBO may be joining forces to build the Hellenic 'Challenger 2E'.  The other option is the co-production of the American M1-A2 Abram Tank.  The other two contenders are the German Leopard 2A5, and the French Leclerc.  The inventory for now consists of; M-48s, M-60s, AMX-30s, Leopard 1A4s and 1A5s.  Light tanks mainly consist of M-24s and M-41A3s.  The Newly Designed Hellenic (ELVO) built 'Centaur light tank(AIFV)' is also being aquired by both the Greek and German Armies.

Air Defence
By far the greatest defence asset the Hellenic forces have.  From the SA-8 to the Patriot Air Defence Missiles, Hellas has one of the best air defence umbrellas in the world.  With S-300s based in Crete, Patriots and TOR-M1s based all over Hellas, no enemy plane is safe!
