Defence Minister Nikos Dendias said that the challenge of deterrence in the Aegean is not only met with warships or fighter aircraft. It must also be countered with missile systems installed on the many islands of Greek territory. In this way we can achieve absolute deterrence both at sea and in the air. A change of philosophy is required, which also results from the lessons learned from the conflicts we see, in an interview with the Sunday edition of Kathimerini newspaper.
There is, he said "an overall new approach to armaments which we will present. Two are the main principles: Ensuring deterrence in the air and sea space of the Aegean and the perception within and outside the Armed Forces of respecting the fiscal space".
