September 13, 2026
Defense Minister Vasilis Palmers discussed with Greek counterpart Nikos Dendias the interoperability of Cyprus's and Greece's air defense systems. The new agreement for the 'Achilles Shield' includes the BARAK MX technology from Israel. These systems will be integrated into a central air defense system, allowing for data unification from various sensors. The goal is to create a common operational picture, leading to better threat detection. This development is expected to bring significant security benefits to the eastern Mediterranean.
