Greek Patriot System Destroys Drones Over Saudi Oil Refineries

The Greek military has successfully deployed its Patriot air defense system in Saudi Arabia to intercept and destroy drones that threatened major oil refineries in the Yanbu area.

This marks the third time the Greek Patriot system has been used in combat since the start of the US-Israeli war against Iran, according to Reuters. The deployment demonstrates the growing role of European allies in protecting energy infrastructure in the Persian Gulf region.

The Greek battery engaged the drones in coordination with Saudi air defense systems, firing three missiles at the targets. However, it is unclear how many drones were destroyed or where they originated from. Greek security forces confirmed the information to Reuters, highlighting the importance of the Patriot system in protecting critical energy infrastructure.
