Greece to Buy Artillery Systems from Israel
(Reuters) Greece is in advanced talks to buy 36 PULS rocket artillery systems from Israel, two officials said on Friday. Discussions on the $700 million deal come during negotiations for Israel to sell Greece an anti-aircraft and missile defense dome. The PULS system, made by Israel's Elbit, has a range of up to 300 km. (190 miles). Most of the new artillery systems will protect Greece's northeastern borders with Turkey and its islands in the Aegean, an official said.
