Achilles' shield: Israel is building an air defence system for Greece

Greece and Israel have signed contracts to develop a multi-layered air defense system known as the 'Achilles Shield,' which aims to protect Greece from drones, aircraft, rockets, and ballistic missiles. The project, costing around three billion euros, will integrate existing Greek systems like Patriot with Israeli air defense technologies of varying ranges. A central component is an Israeli AI software designed to analyze data from different systems, detect threats, classify them, and recommend the most suitable defense mechanism. This system is expected to be operational within 35 months. Greece emphasized the importance of having access to the source code of the software to maintain greater control over electronic components and future development of the system. The collaboration between Greece and Israel has intensified in recent years due to strained relations with Turkey in the Eastern Mediterranean.
