Greece signed a contract to buy French warships and entered discussions on purchasing fifteen Puma helicopters. Reuters reports that the Greek government may also be open to purchasing new fighter aircraft. Greek defense spending has been limited due to the costs of hosting the Summer Olympics recently. If Greece did pursue the fighter aircraft it would attract attention from a variety of companies. One would expect Lockheed Martin, Dassualt, SAAB and Eurofighter to possibly propose.
