Elbit Systems said Monday it has won a contract worth about $750 million to supply Greece with its Precise and Universal Launching System rocket artillery, in a government-to-government deal between the Defense Ministry and the Hellenic Ministry of National Defense.
The four-year contract calls for PULS launchers and a munitions package that includes training rockets, operational precision-guided rockets for different ranges and loitering munitions. Elbit said the agreement also includes 10 years of follow-on maintenance and support services, a longer tail that can shape how the system is used long after the first deliveries are complete.
The PULS system is built to fire both unguided and guided projectiles, giving it flexibility across different missions. Elbit said the launchers are pod-agnostic and can be mounted on various wheeled or tracked vehicles already in service with the Greek military, a design it says lowers long-term training and maintenance costs.

Bezalel Machlis, Elbit's chief executive, said Greece joins additional NATO countries that have selected the PULS system. Under Greek government policy, Elbit will work with local defense firms to produce the systems, with the arrangement including a transfer of technology and technical know-how to domestic companies.
The deal adds to a defense relationship that has widened steadily between Israel and Greece. In 2021, the two countries signed a $1.65 billion government-to-government agreement for Elbit to establish and operate an International Flight Training Center for the Hellenic Air Force in Kalamata. In 2023, Greece signed a $428 million deal to buy Spike anti-tank guided missiles from Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.

Israel and Greece have deepened diplomatic and security ties over the past decade, and their air forces meet annually in joint exercises such as Iniochos in Greece and Blue Flag in Israel. The new rocket artillery contract fits squarely inside that broader pattern, pairing procurement with local production and support at a time when both countries are investing in defense links that are meant to last.
