Greece's Hellenic Air Force is modernizing 38 F-16 Block 50 aircraft to the Viper configuration, prioritizing fleet homogeneity and operational availability. A formal request for a proposal from the U.S. government is underway to facilitate procurement.

The upgrade is part of Greece's Multi-Year Defense Plan, emphasizing the importance of the F-16 Viper as a force multiplier in high-threat environments. Delays in the upgrade may increase operational and financial risks.
