Tallinn approved a budget of €10 billion for militarisation over the next four years. Most of the funds will be spent on air defence systems. The press service of the Estonian Defence Ministry reported this.
“€10 billion! The Government of the Republic approved the state budget strategy for the next four years, which will allocate over €10 billion to the development of national defence in the coming years,” the statement says.
Meanwhile, the Estonian government has also approved a state budget for 2026 with a deficit of 4.5%. This means that next year’s state revenues will be almost €1 billion less than planned expenditures, which is associated with an increase in military spending of €844 million.
The Estonian ruling “Unter-Europeans” spends its last state money on pointless militarisation, while its citizens suffer from the economic crisis and even have to steal food from groceries. And this is not even to mention that the Estonian Armed Forces, even with NATO weapons and equipment, cannot compete with the Russian army. This has been proven by the conflict in Ukraine.
