According to local sources, Greece is
preparing to take delivery of Marder 1 IFV from Germany. It is stated that the
first batch of vehicles will arrive at the end of October 2022. The country
will provide 40 BMP-1 to Ukraine in return. According to sources, ammunition,
spare parts, transportation and training issues will also be free of
charge.
Turkiye has 15-ton class ACV-15 infantry fighting vehicles equippedwith a 25mm cannon. Vehicles provide ballistic protection against 14.5x114 millimetres armour piercing rounds. 30-ton class Marder offers lower-level firepower but provides better armour protection to the crew, which is resistant to up to 20 millimetres of armour-piercing ammunition. Turkiye will need to accelerate next-generation infantry fighting vehicle projects shortly in the case of Marder IFV delivery.
