Yesterday a communist-antifa organisation held a protest outside a high school in Stavroupoli, Thessaloniki. Students from the school attacked and dispersed the communists. Two of the communists were injured.

Today, (29/09) the communists went to that school to protest once more, with students again fighting the communist threat, armed with sticks and stones and flashbangs. Police presence is strong, use of chemicals has been made by the police.

Various (probably communist) organisations from the AUTh (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) have condemned the attack and called the school children "right wing fascists".

🔸 The deal is for the acquisition of 3 Belharra frigates with the possibility of procuring a fourth unit

🔸 The new French proposal is for three French Belharra frigates, the first of which is already under construction at the Lorient shipyards, and an additional three Gowind corvettes. These are ships of smaller displacement, which Navy officers characterize as powerful and that cover the daily operational needs of the Aegean. Their delivery is estimated to take place after the frigates, without a clear date at this time.

🔴 Greece made a deal to buy frigates, but what armaments do they have exactly?
>https://archive.is/3Vvq9

🔸 According to reports, the Belharra frigates have a radar that would be able to cover an area from Evros to the Cypriot EEZ, with their Sea Fire radar that could cover up to 200km and locate targets before they know the precise location of the frigate, which could be engaged by the ASTER 30 missiles, which have the reputation of never failing and a range of 120 Km

🔸 French frigates also excel in anti-submarine warfare , as they have state-of-the-art systems that can detect even the quietest submarines

🔸 The Greek Belharras will have heavier armaments than the French, as they will be equipped with a new generation of EXOCET missiles that can hit enemy ships as well as coastal targets, a 76 mm cannon, a 21-missile RAM self-defense system and all of these will be controlled with the SETIS battle system

‼️ SCALP EG cruise missiles could also become an option, with range of 800 Km

Horses seen roaming around the temple of Zeus in the ancient Greek city of Cyrene, Libya.

The Temple of Zeus was built around the 6th century BC; rebuilt by the Romans in the 2nd century AD after the Jewish Revolt in 115 AD where it was destroyed, and destroyed again after an Earthquake in the 4th century AD, this time the site was abandoned.

Cyrene was founded in c.630 BC as a colony of the Greek island town Thera, which had become too crowded. The first colonists settled at an island called Platea in front of the Libyan coast. Later, they occupied a coastal strip called Aziris, & finally after concluding a treaty with the Libyans they founded the town Cyrene, the capital of the fertile Cyrenaica. The "Fountain of Apollo" offered sufficient water for a flourishing city. The leader of the settlers was Aristoteles, but he was called Battus. In the following centuries, Battus' descendants, the Battiads, ruled Cyrene.
