Greek-operated air defence system shoots down ballistic missile, drone over Saudi
A Greek-operated air defence system has successfully intercepted a ballistic missile and a drone over Saudi Arabia, according to Reuters, providing rare operational confirmation of the system's multi-threat engagement capability in a live combat environment. The engagement demonstrates the effectiveness of the deployed battery against two distinct threat categories simultaneously. The event carries significant implications for allied air defence cooperation and for the evaluation of European-operated air defence systems in high-threat theatres.
