It was slated to include new maintenance shelters, ramps and taxiway extensions, with a local construction contract for $21 million due to finish in recent weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This modernization tallied with the arrival of a number of Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles at the Greek airfield, as <a href=\"https:\/\/greekreporter.com\/2022\/11\/26\/us-deploys-eight-mq-9-reaper-drones-greece\/\"><u>reported by the Greek Reporter<\/u><\/a> in late November. A spokesman for the U.S. Air Forces in Europe-Africa confirmed the arrival to Defense News, saying\u201dthe U.S. and Greece worked together to ensure the Larissa base had the capabilities\u201d to support the MQ-9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLarissa Air Base is a strategic location, allowing the MQ-9s to easily support both the eastern and southern flanks of NATO,\u201d the spokesman said. \u201cThe move [to place them there] is not in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but this placement does support deterring and avoiding conflict with Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials declined to specify the number of drones based at the installation, citing operational security, though <a href=\"https:\/\/nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgreekreporter.com%2F2022%2F11%2F26%2Fus-deploys-eight-mq-9-reaper-drones-greece%2F&#038;data=05%7C01%7Cssprenger%40defensenews.com%7C3039a97aba0943ac0b3408dadd45077b%7C1d5c96e57ee2446dbed8d0f8c50edea5%7C1%7C1%7C638065585809795090%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&#038;sdata=05jd2w%2FDQtOIXKai6Gv5QjUZZHebdRHGE5N6CSIoMdc%3D&#038;reserved=0\">local reports<\/a> have described eight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their deployment was authorized under amendments made to the U.S.-Greek Mutual Defense Cooperation Agreement (MDCA) going back to 1990. Among the changes, most recently agreed in 2021, Washington is now allowed to carry out at both Larissa Air Base and Stefanovikio Army Aviation Base the following missions: operation, maintenance and support of U.S. maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft, some technical ground processing, as well as sustainment and support of airlift and logistics support, including tanker aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Greek military itself also is trying to get its hands on MQ-9 drones. Athens submitted a program for the acquisition of three of these systems to its Parliamentary Arms Committee, which was approved in July 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The
