Israel, Greece sign record €3bn ‘Achilles Shield’ air-defence deal
–
Neutral summary
Israel and Greece signed a defence agreement worth about €3 billion ($3.5 billion) on Monday, August 31, under which Israel will build a multi-layered air-defence system for Greece dubbed the Achilles Shield. The contract is the largest in the history of military cooperation between the two Mediterranean countries and one of the largest defence export deals in Israel’s history. The system will integrate Israeli-made Iron Dome, SPYDER and Barak MX systems along with MMR radars to defend against missiles, aircraft and drones, with full operational readiness expected within 35 months. Greece will receive more than a 25% share in industrial production and access to source code, becoming the first EU country to adopt such an Israeli system. The deal is seen as part of Athens’ efforts to modernise its armed forces amid renewed tensions with Turkey over the Aegean Sea.
