The Estonian defence forces to receive new equipment and better pay
The Estonian ministry of defence has approved its development plan for 2020-2023 that,
according to the ministry,
will raise the country’s combat capabilities and readiness.
The Estonian Air Force is to receive two PZL M28 Skytruck transport aircraft in 2019.
The two aircraft, built in Poland in 2009, are a gift from the United States.
Currently, the country’s air force operates just one jet trainer,
the Czech-made Aero L-39 Albatros, and four Robinson R44 helicopters.
The Estonian Navy is to obtain two new fast vessels and mobile maritime surveillance radars
to ensure the survivability of maritime surveillance in wartime.
Another priority in the development plan is the Estonian Defence League.
By 2023, the league will receive an allotment of €43 million a year.
