Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced a €25 billion defense investment by 2036, calling it the most significant transformation in the country’s military history. The plan includes advanced defense technologies, drone systems, cyber capabilities, and stronger participation from the Greek defense industry.

Mitsotakis stressed that these investments are essential for national sovereignty and security, citing global conflicts from Ukraine to the Middle East. He noted that Greece had to rapidly rebuild its military since 2019 and highlighted defense agreements with France, including the purchase of Rafale jets and Belharra frigates.
