Fragmented military spending costs Europe billions, report finds
Original: The race to rearm: Fragmented military spending is costing Europe billions
European governments are racing to rearm amid security concerns, but their lack of coordination in defence procurement is costing billions. An investigation argues that each country buying separately, rather than jointly, drives up prices, duplicates effort and delays delivery of weapons and equipment. The report adds to ongoing debate about whether the EU and NATO members should pool orders and standardise military capabilities to get better value from rising defence budgets.
Why now: Defence spending is rising sharply across Europe, and questions about efficiency and coordination are drawing attention.
