    Wonder where they build these two huge boats, which are almost half as big as Crete.

        Actually the country and boats are normal size, the boats are just closer to the camera than the land because they are going to put these battleships into orbit

    If only there was already a Greek mythological shield which offered divine protection that they could have named this after…

    His shield was really fancy, to be fair. The main lesson is that when you dip your baby in invincibility juice you need to swap the ankle you’re holding them by and dip again.

    Technically true: the success rate of hitting missiles with missiles will never be 100%. And even if the defender is successful he will have lost at least 2 missiles for each one incoming. Which is a win for the attacker.

    The name is quite fitting.

    We saw that the Nazisraeli system can be overwhelmed by quantity- and guess who’s one of the foremost producers of drones in the region? Why it’s ole’ Türkiye, Greece’s archnemesis! Achilles Shield is right, lol

        Considering Turkey carried out a genocide on the Greek people of Asia Minor I would hope nobody doubts that.

          The foundational myth of Turkey revolves around the time Greece tried to genocide them immediately after forming from the ruins of the Ottomans, based on a (then) century old irredentist screed.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greco-Turkish_War_(1919–1922)

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megali_Idea

          The last time this was seriously pushed has been a bit though, when a literal fascist junta overthrew Greek democracy after they didn’t like an election.

          That junta was the cause of the Cyprus crisis, after they planned to genocide the Turks living on the island and seize it entirely… And of course, after Turkey crushed those clowns, they immediately tried to seize Cyprus for themselves.

          The point isn’t that Turkey is innocent, the Pontic genocide might have been started by the Ottomans but Ataturk certainly didn’t bother stopping it, it’s that pretending they’re the sole aggressor in this feud because of a century old crime with no attention paid to Greek reprisals is showing a very obvious, and very obviously sourced, bias.
