Latvia, Estonia; Joint procurement of Air Defense system and HIMARS

The two countries will focus on strengthening cooperation and enhancing their defence capabilities.

Estonian Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur and his Latvian counterpart Artis Pabriks have announced plans to jointly procure medium-range air defence (MRAD) systems.

The move is intended to strengthen Estonian-Latvian cooperation and enhance the region’s defence capabilities.

The two sides also discussed the development of a Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) and a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) to boost their land-based rocket launcher Capability.

In June this year, the Estonian and Latvian defence ministers signed a letter of intent (LoI) at the summit to form a legal framework for the joint procurement of MRAD systems.

According to the LoI, the joint procurement will be managed by the Estonian Centre for Defence Investment.

The procurement will ensure air defence for the mobilisation of Estonian reserve troops.
