Announcing a spending target is a political act and can be done in an afternoon. Turning it into aircraft, missiles and trained crews takes a decade, an industrial base with spare capacity, and a customer prepared to sign orders long enough for a factory to justify expanding.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Ankara Summit commitments were aimed at exactly that: expanding manufacturing capacity, removing barriers to defence trade between allies, launching what NATO calls its Front Door for Industry, and agreeing a formal Strategy for Industry-NATO Cooperation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"max-width:550px;margin:0 auto 28px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?id=2100857096791085507&theme=light\" style=\"width:100%;height:400px;border:none;overflow:hidden\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The Blunt Part<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Most of Cavo Dragone's language was the careful register of alliance communication.

It is a description of the last few weeks in European airspace: fighters scrambled over the Baltic, drones closing an airport in Luxembourg for a night, unattributed incursions along the eastern flank. He also went out of his way to commend allied forces for what he called swift, professional and effective responses.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/admiral-giuseppe-cavo-dragone-nato-military-committee.jpg\" alt=\"Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone in uniform\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, Chair of the NATO Military Committee, who will hand the post to Germany&rsquo;s General Carsten Breuer in summer 2027.

The pilots to fly it take longer still, and the training pipeline is itself constrained by aircraft availability. Air defence interceptors, the commodity every European nation suddenly wants more of, are produced on lines that were sized for a world in which nobody expected to fire many.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>This is why the phrase &ldquo;speed, scale and predictability&rdquo; matters more than it reads. Predictability is the one industry actually asks for. A manufacturer will build a second production line for a ten-year order book. It will not build one for a good speech.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">A Changing of the Guard<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The conference also settled the succession. Allied nations elected General Carsten Breuer, Germany's Chief of Defence, as the next Chair of the Military Committee. He takes the post in summer 2027 for a three-year mandate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>That a German officer will chair NATO's senior military body through the late 2020s says something in itself about where the alliance's centre of gravity has moved. Germany is building NATO's forward presence in Lithuania, is constructing border infrastructure in eastern Poland, and spent this week rehearsing the reinforcement of a Swedish island in the middle of the Baltic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The host's own chief of defence, General Michael Wiggers Hyldgaard of Denmark, closed on the same theme.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;Today, in Copenhagen, NATO Allies once again show their commitments to strengthening the Alliance, bolstering our innovation and technology and our support for Ukraine.
