Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna shared a statement on his social media account regarding his country's defense spending and military capabilities. Tsahkna stated that Estonia allocated more than 5 percent of its gross domestic product to defense in 2026.

Emphasizing that deterrence is not an abstract commitment, Tsahkna noted that it requires building capabilities capable of countering any aggression.

Tsahkna reported that Estonia was investing in stronger air defense, increased firepower, long-range strike capabilities, unmanned aerial vehicles and electronic warfare. He added that these investments were intended to implement the defense plans of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
