Finnland gehört zu den Top -Verteidigungsgebieten der NATO und fast 3% des BIP, das die Verteidigung ausgegeben hat. Steigt diese Zahl auf 4-5% oder reicht aus. Was denken Sie?

Clutching at ‘near 3%’ there

It definitely won’t increase to 4-5%. I think there is a risk it goes under 2% when the current investments (mainly fighter jets) are over. But of course, this is also somewhat misleading stat. Finland has better bang for the buck than many other countries due to conscription and focusing on the right things judging by UA-RU war (artillery).

The Finnish defence force is probably one of the most cost effective militaries in the world, while there is some pressure to increase soending to better prepare for a possible conflict, doubling the budget would result in inevitable wasteful spending, which could even lead to some loss in performance in overlooked details.

Let’s face it, without an increase from all NATO and European countries then ruzzya will consider it an open invitation to do what they want, we have to crush them economically and militarily
