Greece from Misery to Deterrence

Greece has taken on a significant role in regional security, moving away from the image of a weak country. Greek Patriot systems intercepted Iranian missiles in Saudi Arabia, while Greek F-16s and frigates have been sent to Cyprus and Bulgaria to strengthen air defense. Greece is functioning as a link in the air defense for the southeastern wing of NATO and the EU, providing security and stability. This development proves that Greece can overcome fatalism and play an active role in the region.
