Germany has made a preliminary decision to buy Israel’s Arrow 3 air-defence system instead of a rival product manufactured by Lockheed Martin Corp., according to people familiar with the matter.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz discussed the air-defence issue earlier Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid in Berlin and they both gave positive signals about a possible deal at a joint news conference. The Arrow 3 interceptor, manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries, could cost around 2 billion euros ($2 billion), according to reports in German media, if the government chooses it over Lockheed’s THAAD system.

Switzerland will buy from the U.S. government 36 Lockheed Martin-built (NYSE: LMT) F-35A fighter jets under a potential $6.25 billion contract.

The European country expects deliveries of the F-35 conventional takeoff-and-landing variant to occur between 2027 and 2030 to replace its fleet of F/A-18 Hornet and F-5 Tiger fighter jets under the procurement contract signed Monday by Martin Sonderegger, the Swiss government’s national armaments director, and Darko Savic, the Swiss F-35A program manager, Switzerland’s federal defense, civil protection and sport department said Monday.

Switzerland is purchasing the aircraft from the U.S. government through a foreign military sales agreement.

The contract also includes the provision of mission-specific equipment, logistics package, weapons and ammunition, initial training, mission planning systems and training platforms. It also covers costs with regard to the aircraft’s integration into the Swiss government’s command and control system, industry support services, value-added tax on imports and inflation.

According to the government release, Swiss defense officials and Lockheed signed an offset agreement, which “forms the basis for the US manufacturer to conduct offset businesses with the Swiss industry.” Swiss companies could secure contracts worth $3 billion combined.

The Netherlands will reach NATOs 2% of GDP spending norm for the first time since 1993 in the 2024-25 fiscal year. In 2014 it dipped below 1%.

In January "there is no money" to finding upwards of €5b now :rolleyes:

Nice graph from marineschepen.nl showing the expenditure since 1814:

After lengthy discussions, the Austrian government has accepted a draft to increase military spending. 1% of the GDP is to be spent on defence from 2023 onwards, followed by an increase in increments to 1.5% by 2028. An additional one-time cash injection of up to €10 billion is planned. With the additional funds, the Austrian Army seeks to modernise its tanks, upgrade its slimmed-down Typhoon fighter jets to the international standard and also buy three additional twin-seat Typhoons from Germany. The measures also include a salary increase. (Source, German)
