A coalition of nations led by France is beginning to firm up plans for the creation of a NATO-compatible ground-based air defense system to protect Ukraine.
After its invasion of Ukraine, Russia may be able to re-build its military within 6-10 years—a new white paper argues that NATO needs to have modernized before then.
The decision to select the E-7 has been made by a consortium of nations including Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Romania and the U.S.
The proposals to develop further missions for the Gripen are part of updated military advice provided to Stockholm by commander-in-chief General Micael Bydén.
U.S. and European defense suppliers are supporting the development of Poland’s air defense system and the development of future missiles to support it.
