In early June, the United States delivered $2.7 million worth of mobile radars (AN/TSQ-288) to the Estonian Navy. Over the next several weeks, the U.S. Navy will support the Estonian Navy with technical training on the radars.
The United States European Command’s Building Partner Capacity Program (BPC) funded the ammunition and radars through the Fiscal Year 2018 and 2019 appropriations. These deliveries further strengthen U.S.-Estonian defense cooperation while ensuring interoperability among NATO Allies. The equipment delivery to the Estonian Defense Forces is part of multiple, ongoing BPC programs in Estonia. These programs are funded by the U.S. Department of Defense and are designed to complement Estonia’s national efforts to enhance defensive capabilities. The United States has provided and continues executing over $240 million in security assistance programs to Estonia funded between 2015 and 2020.
