Greece recently bought an anti-missile defence system from Israel for 3 billion dollars.

Omissions

• The headline figure most widely reported is €3 billion, not $3 billion; converted to dollars the deal is worth roughly $3.4–3.5 billion, so stating '3 billion dollars' conflates the euro amount with the dollar amount.
• The deal ('Achilles Shield', a Greek version of the Iron Dome / multi-layered air-defence system) was signed on 31 August 2026, i.e. shortly before the 15 September 2026 session; the MEP refers to it accurately as a recent purchase.
• The source-code part of the claim is independently confirmed: Israel has not provided the source code for the command-and-control system, which has sparked political controversy in Greece.
• Reported dollar values vary by source ($3 billion, $3.4 billion, $3.5 billion, $3.6 billion) depending on exchange-rate and rounding, indicating some imprecision in the underlying figures.
