Strengthening Greece's Defense Capabilities with the Achilles Shield
September 7, 2026
The Israeli defense industry has developed advanced air defense systems such as the Iron Dome and David’s Sling. Greece is acquiring the new defense system 'Achilles Shield,' worth €3 billion, which includes a comprehensive network to address various threats. Each system will be integrated into a national command center for better assessment and response to attacks. Cyprus is already using the BARAK MX, while Greece becomes the second European country to acquire the David’s Sling. This system provides layered protection and enhances strategic security in the region.
