Erdogan won't like this: Greece is preparing a surprise that will reach deep into Turkey

Greece is considering the purchase of stealth missiles with a range of nearly 1,000 km, alongside advanced American and British weapons, aiming to shift the balance of power against Turkey and enable strikes deep within its territory. Athens has submitted an initial request for pricing and availability data for the AIM-260 JATM and AIM-120D-3 missiles. In August, Australia announced its intention to purchase the missiles in a deal worth approximately 736 million Australian dollars.

Greece is considering the purchase of stealth missiles with a range of nearly 1,000 km, alongside advanced American and British weapons, aiming to shift the balance of power against Turkey and enable strikes deep within its territory without risking aircraft. According to publications in Greek defense media, Athens has submitted an initial request for pricing and availability data for the advanced air-to-air missiles AIM-260 JATM and AIM-120D-3. The AIM-260, for which Lockheed Martin signed an agreement to accelerate production last September, is intended to replace the AMRAAM missiles. An encouraging precedent for the Greeks occurred last August, when Australia announced its intention to purchase the missiles in a deal worth approximately 736 million Australian dollars. While Turkey invests in developing its own aircraft and defense systems, Greece aims to establish a clear qualitative and technological advantage, subject to obtaining approvals, funding, and system integration. The headline creates expectations of a dramatic event, while the article focuses on initial procurement and evaluation processes.
