Israel Monday announced a nearly $400 million agreement to supply Greece with guided anti-tank missiles.
In a statement, the Israeli Defense Ministry said it would provide Greece Spike missiles manufactured by the state-run Rafael Advanced Defense Systems company.
It added that the agreement was signed between Israeli Defense Ministry Director-General Maj. Gen. Eyal Zamir and Greece’s director of defense investments and armaments, Vice Adm. Aristeidis Alexopulos.
