Greece has approved the acquisition of a new air defense system from Israel, valued at up to $4 billion.

Israeli firms Rafael and Israel Aerospace Industries will deliver the system’s radar and missile components, with at least 25% of the system to be produced by Greek industry. The deal is part of Greece’s broader plan to upgrade its military, with a total investment of approximately $32 billion by 2036. This development was first reported by an unknown source.
