Cold Peace in the Aegean

EuroScope @ Global Eye Intelligence presents a strategic deep dive into one of Europe’s most volatile yet under-analysed security theatres: the Aegean Sea. Cold Peace in the Aegean examines how Greece’s largest defence modernisation drive since the Cold War is transforming the balance of power with Turkey—without delivering outright peace.

This report analyses Greece’s naval and air-power upgrades, including next-generation frigates, Rafale and F-35 fighters, ISR integration, and air-defence networks, and explains how these capabilities restore deterrence while simultaneously raising escalation risks. It situates Greek rearmament within wider NATO, EU, and Franco-American security architectures, revealing how alliance interdependence both stabilises the Aegean and internationalises any future crisis.

Beyond platforms and procurement, the brief unpacks the strategic paradox of the region: how enhanced deterrence can create stability at the tactical level while locking both sides into a long-term militarised standoff. It also outlines risks—from fiscal strain and supplier dependence to crisis-management gaps and demographic pressures—often missed in headline reporting.

For policymakers, defence analysts, investors, diplomats, and geopolitical risk professionals, this is essential intelligence.
