Greece will spend 25 billion euros in defense until 2037

The plan, to determine Greece’s defense capacity in the medium term, emerged against the rear of European countries’ desire to increase military spending.

Greek Prime Minister Kiriacos Mitsik AboutTletes said the country would spend 25 billion euros in defense until 2037. Bloomberg reported it.

The plan, to determine Greek’s defense capacity in the medium term, emerged against the rear of European countries’ desire to increase military spending on conditions of the Russian Federation’s ongoing attack against Ukraine and weakening the United States’s existence on the continent.

“Investments in our defensive potential are investments in our sovereignty,” Mitsotakis said.

As you know, Greece has a history that is one of NATO members with the highest cost of defending a part of its economic labor, which regularly exceeds the target alliance indicator by 2% of the GDP even at the peak of the Sovereign role’s crisis.

This is mainly due to a long -standing rivalry with nearby Turkey, a source of ongoing tension, forcing both countries to maintain strong restraint opportunities. For the past five years, Greece has acquired 24 Rafale fighters in France and has been ordered to 40 F-35 fighters in the United States.

The new 12-year approach sets the price for the government’s value plan to spend further increased equipment and other capabilities.

Earlier, the media wrote that the Greek government had agreed to move seasparrow missiles to Ukraine.

It has also been reported that Greece will participate in global forces in Ukraine only under three conditions: a ceasefire agreement, lack of deployment in Russia and a clear approach to discharge if the fighting is continued.
