The European Sky Shield Initiative will enable nations to jointly procure air defence equipment and missiles.
Defence Ministers representing 14 NATO member states and Finland have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) in Belgium to develop the European Sky Shield Initiative.
The multi-national initiative, led by Germany, is intended to strengthen NATO’s Integrated Air and Missile Defence.
NATO deputy secretary general Mircea Geoană said: “This commitment is even more crucial today, as we witness the ruthless and indiscriminate missile attacks by Russia in Ukraine, killing civilians and destroying critical infrastructure.
“In this context, I strongly welcome Germany’s leadership in launching the European Sky Shield Initiative.
