Achilles' Shield: Greece Secures $3.6B Israeli Air Defense Deal
By TechShots Studio
Greece is signing a historic $3.6 billion (€3.1 billion) defense agreement with Israel to build a modern, multi-layered air defense architecture known as "Achilles' Shield." Replacing aging Russian systems, the package includes Israel's David's Sling, Barak MX, and SPYDER systems. This mega-deal marks Israel's largest defense export contract in history and significantly strengthens strategic air defense across the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean.
