In early 2022, Greece’s government received parliamentary approval for a 3 billion euro agreement for three new French-made frigates, Skai.gr reported.

Greece signed a new arms deal with France worth over $4.4 billion to buy the three navy frigates and six additional Rafale fighter jets as Athens to increase its armed forces in response to rising tensions with Turkey. 

The three FDI-class French frigates will be built by Naval Group, a defence contractor located in western France that is set to be delivered by 2026.
