Greece advances €1B defense package including three Embraer C-390 Millennium airlifters and U.S.-Israeli drones

Greece’s parliament committee has approved a program worth up to €600 million to buy three Embraer C-390 Millennium tactical transport aircraft, strengthening the Hellenic Air Force’s airlift capability. The proposal sits inside a separate broader €1 billion defense procurement package that also includes multiple drone types from the U.S. and Israel.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The C-390 deal—three aircraft valued at up to €600 million—would expand the global customer base for Embraer’s military transport and adds another European air force operator candidate.
  • Greece is pairing the C-390 buy with additional unmanned procurement (multiple drone types from the U.S. and Israel), underscoring how tactical airlift modernization is being bundled with ISR/force-multiplication capabilities.
  • This follows ongoing C-390-related program work in Europe, including the Royal Netherlands Air Force C-390 medevac kit clearing production steps (source:a77249bb-b13a-4563-99fb-1624103c12a5). It also fits the broader Embraer defense posture emphasizing its role in air mobility rather than fighter development (source:0eda2938-2561-4bde-853a-b2f65a3ddea8).
