Greece is set to bolster its national defence with an advanced anti-aircraft and anti-ballistic system inspired by Israel's "Iron Dome." Defence Minister Nikos Dendias outlined a three-phase plan to establish the system, including creating a new command structure, launching an international tender in 2025, and achieving full operational deployment by summer 2026. The initiative aims to enhance Greece's airspace security and strengthen its regional defence capabilities.
