Greece to field Israeli-led multilayer air defense 'Achilles Shield'

Greece approved procurement of a new multilayer air defense architecture (“Achilles Shield”) built around Israeli radars and missiles (Rafael/IAI) to cover anti-ballistic, anti-aircraft, and anti-drone roles. While not a battlefield-front innovation, it represents a notable new integrated air-defense capability and export deployment that could influence regional air/anti-UAS tactics and force protection.
