Achilles Shield To Enhance Greek Military Capabilities
Greece’s security council, KYSEA, is expected to approve the spending of €3.5 billion on a new air defense system from Israel, as part of a broader effort to modernize its armed forces. The system, known as Achilles Shield, will include Israeli missiles and radars, and will be capable of dealing with aircraft, drones, and ballistic missiles. The procurement also covers the purchase of several types of drones. This development was reported by Reuters, as Greece continues to invest in its military capabilities, with plans to spend around €28 billion by 2036.
