< h2 > What is known

< P > Under the Armed Forces modernization plan, Greece has decided to focus on the development of anti -air, anti -pronoun defense, as well as increased long -range. Instead of additional Patriot batteries from the US, Athens are ordered by Barak MX in Israel, which can destroy targets up to 150 km away. The Greek Government explains this with long -term production of American systems.

< P > Greece also acquires 38 PULS volley fire systems for 500 million euros. They can use Extra missiles with a range of 150 km and Predator Hawk with a range of 300 km.

< P > In general, Greece's decision is not surprising, since Israeli weapons in Europe and the world are increasingly influenced. For example, the Barak MX system has already been purchased by Slovakia, Azerbaijan, India, Morocco, Cyprus and the Netherlands. Puls also received Denmark, Netherlands, Spain and Germany.

< P > A Athene Solution is a blow to the United States, since such air defense contracts and missile systems guarantee long -term cooperation because of the need for constant purchases of ammunition and maintenance.
