Israel announced on Monday the signing of a landmark $3.5 billion agreement to supply and construct a comprehensive air defense system for Greece, named the "Achilles Shield." The Israeli Defense Ministry confirmed that this is the largest defense export deal in the history of Israel-Greece relations and one of the largest for Israel. The system will integrate multiple Israeli-made components, including David's Sling and SPYDER from Rafael, and the BARAK MX system from Israel Aerospace Industries, creating a multi-layered shield against a wide range of aerial threats.
