JERUSALEM \u2014 Israel will supply PULS rocket artillery systems<\/a> to Greece for $750 million (\u20ac650 million), the Israeli Defense Ministry announced on Monday.<\/p>\n

The deal includes dozens of launchers and rockets with ranges of 25 to 186 miles (40-300 kilometers) and is the first sale of the Israeli PULS system to Greece. The PULS system is capable of launching unguided rockets, precision-guided munitions and missiles at various ranges, and is fully compatible with existing wheeled and tracked platforms. <\/p>\n

The deal has been underway for the past two and a half years, but its closing had been delayed, in part due to the ongoing war in the Middle East. It was launched after its approval by the Greek parliament in December 2025 as a government-to-government deal, in which Israel and Greece themselves guarantee its implementation, with the Israeli Ministry of Defense emphasizing that it \u201creflects the growing defense cooperation between Israel and Greece<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The PULS is expected to be delivered over the next four years, along with a decade of support and maintenance services by the Israeli system\u2019s manufacturer, Elbit Systems<\/a>, which will also serves as the prime contractor for the Greek project. <\/p>\n

In a supplementary announcement issued by the Israeli company, it was stated that \u201cElbit will collaborate with local Greek industries for the production of the system, including technology transfer and sharing of know-how.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elbit established a joint venture<\/a> with the German KNDS to market a PULS system in Europe called \u201cEuroPULS\u201d GmbH. It is divided equally between the founding companies, and its headquarters is to be established in Kassel, Germany. The company also stated that within the framework of the government-to-government agreement between the Netherlands and Israel, Germany \u2014 as a partner \u2014 ordered five EuroPULS launchers<\/a> in an initial operational capability configuration, with delivery and training planned for 2027.<\/p>\n

The latest PULS sale to Greece is one of several defense deals with Israel approved by the Greek Parliament as part of its \u201cAchilles Shield\u201d <\/a>project. Under the project, approved in mid-March, Greece will purchase Barak MX missile batteries from Israel Aerospace Industries, as well as David and Spider mobile launcher systems from Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.<\/p>\n
