En chiffres
Greece signed an agreement to acquire a multi-layered air defense network worth approximately 3 billion euros from Israel under the 'Achilles Shield' doctrine. The system consists of David's Sling, Barak MX, and SPYDER missiles and includes technology transfer. This agreement strengthens the alliance between Greece, Israel, and the Greek Cypriot Administration against Turkey.
The systems will be deployed in northeastern Greece, the Eastern Aegean islands, and around critical infrastructure facilities. This creates a balancing element against Turkey's 'Blue Homeland' doctrine and efforts to increase naval power with the simultaneous construction of 50 warships. Greece's primary objectives are to create a shadow shield against Turkish air and naval superiority.
Beyond the air defense network, Greece is also purchasing 650 million euros worth of PULS rocket artillery systems from Elbit Systems, F-35 fighter jets, loitering munitions, and new frigates from France. This comprehensive modernization is part of a multi-dimensional armament program aimed at changing the regional military balance in Greece's favor.
