Poland will be positioned as a European defense leader with what may be the largest national security expenditure in the nation’s post-war history.
Poland now spends €37 billion (£30 billion) on defense overall, which represents 4.7% of its GDP, and more hikes are being considered.
In the meantime, the Baltic republics are investing hundreds of millions of euros to fortify their defense lines in response to the “hybrid war” tactics on many Baltic fronts.
This is part of a larger project that is being planned by NATO members Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania and is scheduled to start in 2025.
More than €1 billion is being rapidly spent on the construction of new ammunition installations throughout much of northern Europe, especially for 155mm artillery rounds, which Ukraine is firing at rates not seen since World War II.
And how is the United Kingdom reacting to a growing worldwide threat? Ships, drones, and helicopters valued at £500 million are being discarded by the nation.
