Europe has embarked on a massive revival of its defense industry in an effort to reduce its dependence on the US and respond to Russian aggression.

According to estimates, it will take about $1 trillion to completely replace US military capabilities on the continent, reports The Wall Street Journal.

Europe’s defense industry, which has been stagnant for a long time, is now operating at full capacity. The production of drones, tanks, ammunition, and other equipment is growing at its fastest pace in decades.

According to Bernstein, Europe spent $560 billion on defense in 2025, twice as much as ten years ago. By 2035, spending on equipment will be 80% of the Pentagon’s level.

Missile production at MBDA has grown several times over, and Estonia has become the world leader in the production of ground-based drones.

In some areas, Europe is already ahead of the US. Rheinmetall will soon be able to produce 1.5 million artillery shells per year - more than the entire American industry.

歐洲正展開一場大規模的國防工業復興行動，目的是降低對美國的依賴，並應對俄羅斯的侵略行為。

《華爾街日報》報導，根據估算，歐洲大陸若要全面取代對美國軍事能力的依賴，約需投入1兆美元。

長期停滯的歐洲國防工業如今已全速運轉，無人機、戰車、彈藥及其他軍事裝備的產量，正以數十年來最快的速度成長。

根據伯恩斯坦的資料，歐洲2025年國防支出達到5600億美元，是10年前的兩倍。到2035年，歐洲在軍事裝備上的支出水準將達到美國五角大廈的80%。

飛彈製造商MBDA的產量已成長數倍，而愛沙尼亞則成為全球地面無人載具生產的領先國。

在部分領域，歐洲已領先美國。萊茵金屬不久後將具備每年生產150萬枚砲彈的能力，超過整個美國軍工產業的總產量。
