In 2026, the Estonian government allocated $3.04 billion to its defense budget, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37% from 2022 to 2026. The defense budget is projected to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% over the forecast period, reaching $7.57 billion by 2031. This increase in defense expenditure is expected to be driven by higher investment in acquisition and RDT&E programs. In light of the threat posed by a resurgent Russia and its invasion of Ukraine, Estonia has initiated a comprehensive defense modernization programme, with emphasis placed on strengthening its defense posture.
