Greece’s KYSEA is poised to approve a roughly €3 billion Israeli-made air and missile defense package as the centerpiece of the Achilles Shield program, featuring SPYDER, David’s Sling and Barak MX to form a layered defense for the mainland and islands, with additional assets like drones, submarines, and transport aircraft under consideration and integration with F-35/F-16, Belharra frigates and Patriot batteries. An Israeli delegation is expected to sign contracts shortly after approval, amid heightened regional sensitivity with Türkiye over potential island deployments.
