The order was therefore given to release the state-of-the-art Iron Beam laser system to the Greek side, within the framework of close bilateral cooperation on security and air defense issues. Iron Beam is now the first fully operational laser interception system in the world, which introduces new data in dealing with threats from drones, rockets and other aerial targets.

Greece is moving forward with plans to acquire and deploy a sophisticated anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense system similar to Israel's "Iron Dome."

Greece is negotiating with Israel to develop an anti-aircraft and missile defense system valued at €2 billion. This initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize the Greek armed forces as the country recovers from a prolonged debt crisis, according to Greek officials reported by Reuters.
