Greece resumes negotiations with Israel for air-defense systems

(MENAFN) Greece is set to restart negotiations with Israel to purchase advanced air-defense systems as part of its planned Achilles’ Shield network, local media reported Tuesday. Talks had been paused during Israel’s two-year military campaign in Gaza to avoid political backlash, but are now resuming to replace aging systems, Kathimerini noted.

The plan includes acquiring Israel’s Spyder system to replace short-range Russian OSA-AK and TOR-M1 units, Barak MX missiles to succeed medium-range US-Hawk systems, and the SkyCeptor variant of David’s Sling to substitute long-range Russian S-300 systems. The project is expected to cost around €3 billion ($3.47 billion) and would cover Western Thrace and the eastern Aegean islands.
