Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur said that Estonia is developing its defense industry. The new plan will help.
The previous plan ends in 2028. The new plan has more money. The money will go to new things and new ideas. For example, we will buy new rockets.
Robotics is important. We already have drones. The drones have been tested. Drones help in defense.
Estonia is taking a loan from Europe. The loan could be substantial. The Ministry of Finance will provide more details.
Estonia's industry will receive funding. About 50 million euros will go to new ideas. This will help Estonia's industry grow. We will also buy Estonian goods to support Ukraine.
Estonia's defense industry needs to be fast. We are cooperating with Ukraine's industry. This will provide a good price.
We don't produce everything in Estonia. For example, we don't make machines or air defense systems. But we produce drones and robotics at home. These help in defense.
