At a time when Greece and the Republic of Cyprus are facing an increasingly dangerous Turkey, which aims to become the hegemonic power in the region, a series of transformative changes are occurring in the field of military technology internationally.
The intensifying competition between the major Eurasian powers and the United States, coupled with the achievements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is shaping a completely new reality regarding military power. Robotic weapons in swarm structures, missiles equipped with artificial intelligence, hypersonic cruise missiles functioning as "post-nuclear superweapons," and "mutated" artillery that can serve as a cheap substitute for air power are some of the elements of this New Military Revolution.
This revolution seems to have been tailored for Greece, as it offers the opportunity to decisively enhance its deterrent capabilities against Turkish expansionism, while simultaneously developing its national economy.
Greece is facing a rare historical opportunity to combine technological advancements with its geopolitical needs and to develop a Defense model tailored to its own particularities and integrated into a national development strategy. The question is whether it will seize this opportunity before it is too late.
The book seeks to connect a series of recent developments in war technologies and methodologies with some timeless elements of the art and science of warfare. These developments are shaping a New Military Revolution, the core of which is the shift of the center of gravity in the war process from the platform to the missile. It serves as an assembly of informational material and an initial documentation that will form the basis for a more comprehensive study on the redistribution of power in the Greek-Turkish system based on Systemic Geopolitical Analysis.
