Greece's Supreme National Security Council is expected to approve a €3 billion procurement of Israeli air defense systems, including Rafael's David's Sling and IAI's Barak, as part of the 'Achilles Shield' network, according to N12's Asaf Rosenzweig, citing a report in Greece.
The expected approval follows a report earlier today that Greece was moving toward a major Israeli air defense acquisition. N12's Asaf Rosenzweig, citing a Greek report, says the Supreme National Security Council will approve the €3 billion package, which is the centerpiece of the 'Achilles Shield' integrated air defense network. The systems include the David's Sling (Rafael) for medium-range interception and the Barak (IAI) for multi-layered defense. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the deal would be one of Greece's largest military procurements from Israel and a key component of its modernization efforts.
