Greece and Israel sign agreement for the "Achilles' Shield" air defense program
Greece and Israel are set to sign a major agreement on Monday to strengthen national defense. The program, which is called "Achilles' Shield," has a total budget exceeding three billion euros.
The goal of the agreement is to create a modern air defense system that will cover the entire Greek territory. This project will combine advanced Israeli technology with the capabilities of the Greek defense industry.
This cooperation is expected to significantly enhance the country's defense capabilities, offering better protection of its airspace. At the same time, the participation of the Greek industry in the program represents an opportunity for the development of new technological infrastructure and the creation of jobs.
The signing of the agreement confirms the close relations between Athens and Tel Aviv in the field of security. Both sides are seeking to deepen their cooperation, addressing modern challenges in the wider Eastern Mediterranean region.
The first phases of the program's implementation are expected to begin in the coming period. Experts estimate that "Achilles' Shield" will become one of the key pillars of Greek defense strategy for the coming years.
