Time to engage with post-NATO 1.0 Europe

A coalition of ten European nations is enhancing anti-ballistic missile production and defense coordination, supporting Ukraine and pursuing greater European defense self-sufficiency. This pivotal move, spurred by US calls for increased spending and a desire for strategic autonomy, aims to consolidate Europe's fragmented defense industry. It represents a concrete step towards broader European defense cooperation, diversifying partnerships, and strengthening NATO. The initiative presents a significant opportunity for India to engage in co-development, marking a crucial readjustment of the global order.
