Estonia Defense Market Drivers
Conflict in Ukraine, modernization of armed forces, and Estonia’s commitment to NATO are the key factors driving Estonia’s defense market.
Conflict in Ukraine: The conflict in Ukraine has increased Estonia’s defense commitments and will continue to drive spending throughout the forecast period. As a neighbor of Russia and a former Soviet republic, Estonia and the wider Baltic region are extremely concerned about Russian aggression. As a small nation, Estonia feels that a larger commitment than 2% GDP is needed to ensure effective defense. The budget includes a large acquisition program to expand and modernize Estonia’s military forces. There is also an increase in allied NATO deployments projected in future years, which requires Estonia to increase its military infrastructure spending.
Estonia Military Doctrines and Defense Strategies
NATO and Russia are the focal points of Estonia’s doctrine. Since gaining its independence after the collapse of the USSR, Estonia has developed close and strong ties with its Western European neighbors. These relationships, especially Estonia’s NATO membership, are integral to its military doctrine and strategy. Estonia’s defense doctrine calls for complete coordination with NATO allies to ensure Estonia is protected by larger members while remaining a valuable partner. In addition, the ‘Estonian Military Defense 2017–2026’ document outlines the desire of the armed forces to operate a defense force capable of defending Estonia from numerous threats, namely the presence of Russia in the region.
Estonia’s overarching military strategic outlook relies on the principle of total defense, which describes a nation’s entire population, industry, and political efforts being focused on military defense in a national emergency. As a small nation, this complete national mobilization is essential to defend Estonia in the event of foreign aggression. Pursuivant to the strategy of total defense, Estonia enforces mandatory conscription of all able-bodied men. Furthermore, local Kaitseliit, or military defense leagues, in every region of the country, as well as youth paramilitary defense leagues and female paramilitary defense leagues. These defense leagues enable the rapid mobilization and arming of civilians with conscript experience. In the event a foreign power should occupy a part of Estonia, the civilian population is expected to engage in organized resistance and sabotage against the enemy.
