The two Baltic nations of Estonia and Latvia have signed an agreement with Germany to purchase a medium-range air defense missile system that opens the way for the two nations to join a common air defense system proposed by Germany last year. Estonia and Latvia had previously signed letters of intent to joint the ‘Sky Shield Initiative’, a common air defense system proposed by Germany in 2022 in the wake of the Russian war against Ukraine. The project currently includes 16 NATO member states, NATO invitee Sweden, as well as the neutral states Austria and Switzerland.
