Războiul din Ucraina schimbă apărarea Europei. Cursa pentru nave și submarine ia amploare

European defense spending is increasing significantly, particularly in maritime defense, with major contributions from France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. The EU's maritime production reached €117.8 billion since 2016, with a notable rise in 2025. However, experts emphasize the need for integrated and interoperable forces rather than just industrial output. Countries like Greece and Sweden, despite their strong naval capabilities, are often overlooked. The ongoing war in Ukraine and maritime threats have prompted a reevaluation of the EU's maritime security strategy, which now focuses on state threats. The EU is also investing in submarine infrastructure and joint naval projects to address these challenges effectively.
