NATO has agreed on the largest rearmament programme since the Cold War, sources close to the talks told dpa on Thursday, APA reports.
The agreement, reached as NATO defence ministers convened in Brussels, provides for a huge expansion of deterrence and defence capacities in the coming years.
Top priorities include long-range weapons systems, air defence and mobile land forces, according to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
The rearmament programme entails specific targets for different military capabilities.
Individual NATO countries are to be given precise instructions on what they have to contribute to joint deterrence and defence in the near future.
