Reuters: Greece to purchase PULS systems from Israel and drones from the U.S.

Greece is reportedly in advanced talks to acquire 36 PULS rocket artillery systems from Israel as part of its efforts to modernize its Armed Forces, according to Reuters, citing two officials.

According to the same sources, discussions for the €600–700 million deal are taking place alongside negotiations between the two countries for Greece to purchase an air and missile defense shield from Israel valued at €2 billion.

The Greek government plans to submit the agreement to a parliamentary committee for approval during the first quarter of 2025, the officials told Reuters.

The report also highlights Greece’s defense procurement program, stating, “Athens has drawn up a multibillion-euro, decade-long acquisition plan, which includes the purchase of up to 40 new F-35 fighter jets from the U.S. and four frigates from France.”

Additionally, a source cited by Reuters mentioned that the Government Council for Foreign Affairs and Defense (KYSEA), which convened today, approved the procurement of American Switchblade drones.
