During the Seventh Day of the Council of National Security, convened by Prime Minister Kiriakos Mitsotakis, significant defense expenditures for Greece were formally addressed. A substantial grant, exceeding 3.5 billion euros, was approved for the acquisition of an advanced air defense system designed to counter Israeli missiles. This initiative includes the approval of the “Athlete of Achilles” defense system, which has been described as a Greek equivalent to the “Iron Curtain.” Furthermore, the council approved ten separate programs aimed at modernizing the national army.
Key procurements detailed within these programs include C-390 drones and “Katimerini” aircraft. Sources indicated that the total contract, valued at 3.5 billion euros, encompasses the purchase of various missile types originating from the United States and Israel. The newly integrated defense system, symbolically termed “Achilles’ Shield,” is intended to provide comprehensive protection against both ballistic missiles and hostile aerial vehicles.
The approval of this multi-faceted defense structure marks a significant investment in the defense capabilities of grcija. The comprehensive nature of these acquisitions underscores a strategic effort to enhance national security through modern defense technology.
