Israel and Greece Sign Landmark $2.7 Billion Defense Deal
Israel's Ministry of Defense announced a monumental defense agreement with Greece, valued at over 10 billion shekels (approximately $2.7 billion USD). Under the terms of the deal, Israel will establish a multi-layered defense system in Greece, incorporating Israeli system architecture.
The sophisticated defense network will feature advanced Israeli technologies, including Rafael's David's Sling and Spyder missile defense systems, alongside the Barak MX system developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). This comprehensive system is designed to counter a wide spectrum of threats.
Referred to in Greece as "Achilles' Shield," the project represents one of the largest defense contracts in Israel's history. It marks the first instance where the Ministry of Defense will provide a complete defense array for another nation, signifying a significant expansion of Israeli defense export capabilities.
The agreement underscores the deepening security cooperation between Israel and Greece, positioning Israel as a key provider of advanced defense solutions in Europe.
