The Netherlands is increasing defense spending by 2.4 billion euros to 24 billion euros to align with NATO goals and counter Russian aggression. The investment includes armored vehicles, F-35 jets, frigates, and funds for recruitment and training.
The move is in response to perceived Russian threats in Ukraine. Additionally, the Netherlands plans to procure Spike LR2 missiles and establish a tank battalion.
This strengthening of forces aims to enhance credibility, strength, and innovation. Amid concerns of potential NATO attacks, German Eurofighter pilots are training near the Russian border in Finland to prepare for emergencies.
The NATO initiative also includes the 'European Sky Shield' missile defense system and deliveries of defense systems to Ukraine.
