🗞️ In-depth summary

Greece has approved the purchase of a multi-layer air defense system, drones, and military transport aircraft, with an estimated cost of $3.1 billion for the air defense system. The "Achilles Shield" system, designed to counter ballistic missiles, aircraft, and drones, will primarily utilize Israeli radars and missiles from Rafael and IAI. Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias stated it "will be ready and fully operational within 35 months." This procurement is part of Greece's broader $32 billion military modernization plan by 2036, driven by regional tensions with Turkey and a desire to strengthen its position in the Eastern Mediterranean.
