Iran’s recent attack against Israel highlighted the importance of advanced defense systems like the Iron Dome. Greece, in response to potential threats, has initiated plans for a Greek Iron Dome air defense system to safeguard against various attack methods.
Given the evolving military landscape, it is crucial for Greece to invest in modernizing its defense capabilities. While diplomatic efforts continue, upgrading defense systems has become a priority, especially in light of outdated technologies like the Russian S-300s.
Collaborating with countries like Israel, France, and Germany, Greece aims to bolster its defense infrastructure. Emphasizing domestic innovation and expertise, the country seeks to enhance its national security through a combination of international partnerships and local advancements.
