Greece is looking to purchase anti-aircraft and artillery systems from Israel worth around $3.5 billion as part of its modernization of its armed forces, Reuters reported on Friday.

The two countries are engaged in talks over a multi-layered anti-aircraft and anti-drone system, a large-scale initiative launched by Greece in April 2025 and dubbed “Achilles Shield,” the report read.

“We want to buy 36 PULS artillery systems and anti-aircraft systems for ‘Achilles Shield.’ The negotiations with Israel will intensify next month,” a Greek official told the news agency.
