Investment is necessary because the situation in Europe has worsened due to Russia's war against Ukraine. Also, the increase in the production and supply of military equipment and ammunition in the Netherlands and Europe is too slow, and Europe should become less dependent on external supplies
addition
Also, in the next five years, the Netherlands plans to increase the production of drones, and the Local Defense Ministry is going to adopt the combat experience of using UAVs from Ukrainians.
In 2023, Sweden handed over 50 such combat vehicles to Ukraine.
