Estonia weighs Patriot, SAMP/T and David's Sling for ballistic-missile defence purchase potentially worth more than €1 billion

Estonia is evaluating Patriot PAC-3, SAMP/T NG, and Israel's David's Sling for a ballistic missile defence acquisition potentially exceeding €1 billion. The procurement would provide Estonia's first organic medium-to-high-tier air and missile defence layer. Technical assessments are focusing on radar performance, kill vehicle capability, and NATO interoperability. The decision is expected to have significant implications for Baltic air defence architecture.
