Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias:
Large platforms no longer have much room in a closed sea such as the Aegean, which is an extremely dangerous sea for a large platform.
The logic, therefore, is that our large platforms—while still retaining their traditional role—must operate in an environment where they are not exposed to attacks launched from the shore.
A very small naval drone worth €50,000 or €100,000 could destroy a frigate worth €1 billion.
And it would not be just one drone—it could be a swarm of 10, 20, 100, or even 500 drones, and it would still cost far less than the target itself.
