The Estonian Ministry of Defense has announced its intention to purchase modern long-range anti-aircraft missile systems capable of countering both ballistic and non-ballistic threats. These systems should provide interception of targets at a range of more than 100 km and an altitude of up to 20 km, which will significantly strengthen the country's defensive capabilities in the face of growing geopolitical challenges.
At the moment, three main contenders are being considered: the American Patriot, the French-Italian SAMP/T and the Israeli David's Sling SAM. All of them have proven themselves to be reliable missile defense and long-range interception systems. The choice will depend on the technical specifications, the cost of the project, the terms of delivery and long-term cooperation with the manufacturer.
The final decision on the purchase will be made by the Estonian Defense Investment Center (RKIK). The announcement of the winner is expected in the near future, which arouses considerable interest among defense industry experts and political analysts. The acquisition of the air defense system will be an important step in the implementation of Estonia's national security strategy and strengthen the country's position within NATO.
Experts note that the choice of a specific system can affect not only Estonia's military capabilities, but also diplomatic relations with other countries. Each of the proposed complexes has its own unique advantages, and the decision will be made taking into account current needs and future prospects.
