ATHENS, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Greece has agreed to spend up to $4 billion upgrading more of its F-16 fighter jets and buying advanced ​missiles from the US, two senior sources told Reuters on ‌Thursday, a day after a visit by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Greece had already planned to spend about €28 billion by 2036 to buy US made F-35 ​fighter jets and helicopters, and to build the "Achilles Shield" a ​multi-layer anti-ballistic and anti-aircraft system with Israeli-made weapons.

"The agreement includes ⁠new advanced missiles and bombs for the F-16 Viper the F-35 ​fighter jets, and the Black Hawk helicopters. Also the upgrade of old ​F-16 fighter jets to Viper version," a senior defence Ministry official told Reuters.

The official added that most of the procurements have been included in the government's multi ​year defence plan and will not put additional pressure to the ​country's financials.

A senior foreign ministry official confirmed the above, adding that the cost will ‌be ⁠spread over several years.
