Greece is looking to India's advanced weaponry to support its 'Agenda 2030' defense modernization initiative, particularly to strengthen its deterrence capabilities against Turkey. The Akash missile system offers operationally proven air defense, while the Barak 8 missile addresses naval threats.

The BrahMos hypersonic missile could enhance Greece's anti-access/area denial strategy. Greece is also collaborating with India on drone technologies, including the Sarisa drone and counter-UAV systems.

Recent discussions emphasized a desire for strategic partnership, including joint R&D and co-production. This shift marks a move away from reliance on US and European suppliers, aiming for mutual benefits such as technology transfer and job creation. Both nations share interests in countering regional threats, potentially leading to future intelligence sharing and joint exercises.
