Greece is set to strengthen its defense capabilities by acquiring Spike electro-optically anti-tank missiles from Israel, according to an announcement from the Israeli Defense Ministry. Manufactured by Israeli state-owned Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, the missiles will be deployed along the Evros land border and on the eastern Aegean islands adjacent to Turkey.
Spike NLOS (Non-Line-Of-Sight) missiles are known for their range of up to 35 km and their ability to carry out precision strikes. They will be integrated with Greece’s Apache attack helicopters and its artillery units. The deal includes the acquisition of more than 220 missiles, which are expected to fully meet Greece’s defense needs.
