Germany is set to increase its military spending to over €108 billion in 2025, focusing on modernization in response to the evolving security situation following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Key investments include combat drones, 35 F-35A stealth bombers, and 60 CH-47 Chinook helicopters, alongside the development of advanced defense systems such as anti-aircraft tanks and laser weapons. This strategic shift is further underscored by Australia's Electro Optic Systems planning to relocate to Europe to tap into the expanding defense market.
