Greece has moved to postpone a major arms purchase from Israel, local media reported on Saturday.
Defense Ministry officials fear that the purchase of Spike NLOS missiles, a particularly desired system for the navy’s fast attack boats and the ground forces’ AH-64 attack helicopters, risk being postponed indefinitely, private broadcaster CNN Greece reported.
The country’s political leadership, however, reiterated that the process for the missile purchase could resume in April when a “misunderstanding” with military leadership is resolved and Athens’ questions to Israel are answered, it added.
