Greek defense officials have laid out a strategic plan to deploy an anti-drone shield that would shield national territory from aerial threats and intrusions. In a recent interview, the defense minister explained that rapid, practical steps would be taken to close gaps with neighboring states and to ring the country with a counter-drone dome over Greek soil. The focus is on countering the use of unmanned aerial systems by opposing forces, including incidents where drones were deployed in regional skirmishes and tense standoffs. The plan emphasizes readiness, mobility, and a layered defense approach designed to deter, detect, and defeat aerial incursions before they can disrupt civilian life or critical infrastructure. These moves signal a clear shift toward resilience and autonomy in national security, with technology and strategic alliances playing central roles in the protection of national airspace.
