Greece Plans €3.1B Air Defense Network with Israel
- On Monday, Greece and Israel will sign a $3.6 billion defense agreement in Tel Aviv to establish "Achilles' Shield", a multilayered air defense network designed to modernize Greece's defensive capabilities.
- The network integrates advanced systems including Rafael's SPYDER, David's Sling, and Israel Aerospace Industries' Barak MX to counter threats from ballistic missiles, aircraft, and drones.
- Twelve Greek companies will undertake work valued at more than 700 million euros, representing at least 25 per cent of the programme, with full operational status expected within 35 months.
- Greek Defence Minister Nikos Dendias described the project as a major modernization step, noting that the system will allow sensors and interceptors to "communicate" to select the appropriate response for each threat.
- Negotiated over three years, this agreement represents the largest defense export in Israel's history, strengthening the strategic partnership between Greece and Israel in regional security cooperation.
