US troop withdrawal: Europe will face spending of $1 trillion on weapons

 Facing Russia alone: A U.S. withdrawal would force Europe to purchase 400 fighter jets, 600 tanks, and additional weapons worth $300 billion.

However, even such extreme spending will not solve Europe's main problem.If the United States eventually decides to step back and abandon its role in ensuring European security, European countries will have to invest an additional $1 trillion in building the necessary military capabilities.

According to a recent report by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), About a third of this amount (at least $344 billion) will need to be spent directly on weapons and military equipment.

The list of required systems is staggering, including at least 400 fighter jets and 600 main battle tanks, as well as numerous other types of weapons.
