Israel’s defence ministry has announced it had signed a deal with Athens worth approximately three billion euros to set up an “Achilles Shield” aerial defence system for Greece, AFP reports.
“Under the deal, Israel will build Greece a comprehensive, multi-layered air defence array, drawing entirely on Israeli-made systems and on the extensive operational experience Israel’s defence establishment has gained during the war,” the ministry said in a statement, adding that “this is the largest defence export deal in the history of Israel-Greece relations, and one of the largest in the history of the State of Israel”.
