Analysed 31 Aug 2026·4 sources analysed·Athens, Greece·Politics
Israel and Greece Sign Multi-Billion Euro Achilles Shield Defence DealPreviousNext

Israel and Greece have signed a major defence deal worth approximately 3 to 3.6 billion Euros to establish a multilayered air defence system in Greece, known as 'Achilles Shield.' The agreement includes Israeli-made systems such as David's Sling, SPYDER, and Barak MX, designed to protect against ballistic missiles, drones, and other aerial threats. The deal also involves a national command-and-control centre and includes participation from Greek defence companies. This marks one of Israel's largest defence export agreements amid regional security concerns.
