Οι Μυστικές Υπηρεσίες της Ουκρανίας χτύπησαν υποθαλάσσιο πυλώνα, σε μια καλά προετοιμασμένη επιχείρηση - Η κίνηση στη γέφυρα της Κριμαίας έχει διακοπεί σε όλο το μήκος της, ενώ οι ρωσικές δυνάμεις βρίσκονται σε κόκκινο συναγερμό
In a post on social media, Deputy Prime Minister Kostis Hatzidakis referred to the Attica-Crete submarine electricity interconnection, saying that it is a project of national importance with multiple benefits.
A new European Parliamentary Research Service report shows that EU Member States collectively raised their defense spending from €218 billion in 2021 to €326 billion in 2024 — a 30% increase in real terms. But Greece, long accustomed to maintaining high defense outlays, stands out not just for meeting the 2% benchmark, but for consistently exceeding it — even during the depths of its financial crisis.
At the heart of the agreement is “BlueWhale,” a state-of-the-art autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) developed by Israel. Designed for various high-risk maritime missions, the unmanned system is capable of covert operations, including intelligence gathering, submarine and underwater target detection, acoustic surveillance, and minefield mapping on the seabed.
The official act establishing it was published today, following an initiative by the Ministry of Environment and Energy, in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other competent ministries.
While the plan signals Greece’s commitment to military modernization, critics might question whether such heavy spending prioritizes defense over social needs, especially post-austerity, and how it might escalate tensions with Turkey rather than foster dialogue.
