Greece is considering expanding its order of US-made Switchblade drones after increased production has lowered costs. Initial plans included 600 drones funded partly through the US Foreign Military Sales program, but additional units may now be acquired. With proven effectiveness in Ukraine and the Greek special forces already trained to use similar systems, Athens is aiming to enhance its military capabilities in the realm of evolving drone warfare.

Greece will bolster its defence with U.S. Switchblade drones as part of a multi-billion-euro plan that also includes 40 F-35 jets and French frigates. The drones, costing about 75.2 million euros, require approval from Greece’s top defence body, KYSEA. This move aims to strengthen Greece’s military amid ongoing tensions with Turkey.
