• Greece signed a contract with Heckler and Koch, for 112,270 5.56 mm G36 assault rifles. They would replace the G3 as the Army's service rifle. The rifles would be assembled locally by Hellenic Defence Systems (EAS). However the purchase has been frozen and the soldiers continue to use the current G3 rifle.

• In 2018 a program to upgrade 50.000 G3 rifles begun. The upgrades include new hanguard with R.I.S., new stock and an Aimpoint Red Dot sign and an M203 40mm grenade launcher.
• The G3 and two versions of the G3A3 and G3A4 is the legendary rifle of the Greek Army (ES). As reported, the procedures for its replacement with a newer and more modern weapon are in progress. The actions take place by the C branch of the General Staff. According to information, a committee has already been set up. The data is that the goal is the total renewal of the G3 of the EU with co-production in the Greek Defense Systems and Greece. Such an action will give a construction project to the Greek defense industry with the possibility of co-production. The cost, according to information, is estimated at around 400 million euros and will, of course, be shared over a period of at least a decade.

• In 1981, Greece ordered 106 Leopard 1A3 GR MBTs plus four armoured recovery vehicles, delivered between 1983 and 1984. Almost 170 Leopard 1Vs were donated by the Netherlands in 1991.
• In 2003, the Hellenic Army ordered 170 new Leopard 2A6 HEL (Hellenic), to be jointly produced by the German Krauss Maffei and the Greek ELVO firms and delivered between 2006 and 2009.
• In 2005, Greece purchased 333 used tanks: 183 Leopard 2A4s and 150 Leopard 1A5 main battle tanks from Bundeswehr reserves. This raised the number of Leopard 1 tanks in Greek service to almost 350, and added Leopard 2A4 tanks to Greece’s inventory. A few Leopard 2A4 tanks have been equipped with a 105 mm cannon for training purposes (to exploit the existing large stock of 105mm ammunition), though quick restoration of the original L44 120 mm cannon is possible. Another 98 Leopard 1A5 tanks were delivered as an offset of the total Leopard 2 HEL procurement package.
• At least 312 M-60A3 were in active service in 2009. M-60 tanks are supposed to be scrapped, sold or retired, as Leopard tanks are replacing them and CFE limit restricts the total number of tanks in service. United States transferred to Greece in 1992-93 358 M60A1 and 312 M60A3 tanks. At least 350 M60 tanks of the Hellenic Army could be donated to Iraq.
• As of 2004, Hellenic Army tank drivers are mostly professionals, but conscripts are still trained as tank drivers, as well as in all other tank crew stations.
• In 2011, Greece was interested in buying M1 Abram's tanks, from US stocks. However, the deal was canceled for logistical reasons.
• About 1,200 M1117 armoured vehicles will probably be donated by US army reserves to the Hellenic armed forces. The vehicles will support the existing mechanised brigades at the Aegean islands.

There is a CFE treaty limit of 2,498[6]

• In 2000 the Hellenic Army decided to procure 54 vehicle-mounted ASRAD-HELLAS systems. A modular missile system featuring high firepower for day and night operation, each ASRAD-HELLAS weapon system carries four ready-to-fire Stinger missiles and holds an additional four missiles ready for a fast reload. The system is operated by a 2-man team, consisting of the driver, who has the secondary task of air space observer, and the operator of the weapon system.
• The 23 mm ZU-23 lightweight, automatic, towed antiaircraft gun entered the Army arsenal after years of service with the East German army.
• The Artemis 30 was originally developed in 1982, to protect all branches of the Armed Forces from medium and low level attack aircraft.
• With units entering service both from East German and Russian sources, the 9M33 Osa (SA-8) short-range surface-to-air missile system was acquired to maximize the protection offered to Army units. In 1993 Germany gave 12 Osa surface-to-air cvs, meaning 3 batteries. Russia later sold another 20 Osa-AKMs batteries in 1998 and another 7 batteries as an offset for the purchase of the Tor-M1 SAM.
• Hellenic Hawk Phase II Upgrade Program brought in 1995 42 Greek Hawk launchers (7 batteries) to an updated version. Ten launchers later updated to a more modern version in 1999.
