Estonia announced record spending on ammunition.

Over the past two years, Estonia has spent an amount on ammunition that exceeds the volume of purchases over the past 30 years,  the head of the country’s Ministry of Defense Hanno Pevkur said.

“Over the past two years, we have already purchased ammunition worth more than 750 million euros, which exceeds the total amount of purchases over the last 30 years,” the minister said.


However, he added that Estonia also planned to spend an additional 3 billion euros on ammunition purchases until 2028.

Pevkur previously said that Estonia could increase defense spending to 5% of GDP based on a new NATO defense plan to strengthen military power.
