Greece Buys $3.5 Billion Shield Against Missiles From Israel

Greece signed a $3.5 billion deal with Israel to build its first system for shooting down incoming missiles and rockets, announced August 31, 2026. The deal mixes three defence systems — SPYDER, BARAK MX, and David's Sling — to stop threats ranging from short-range rockets to long-range ballistic missiles. Negotiated over three years, it is one of Israel's biggest arms sales ever.
