Greece advances defense industry with Centauros anti-drone system.
The Greek government is advancing its defense capabilities with the development of the Centauros anti-drone system, successfully tested against Houthi drones, as part of a 30-billion-euro modernization program aimed at fostering a home-grown defense industry by 2036. Greece plans to increase its investment in defense innovation significantly, amid ongoing tensions with Turkey, which is a notable drone exporter. The emphasis on indigenous production, including combat drones and anti-drone systems, reflects a strategic shift to enhance national security and reduce reliance on foreign technology, positioning Greece to potentially export its defense solutions in the future. This initiative illustrates the growing importance of modern warfare technologies in regional security dynamics.
