Finland is armouring itself. Budget increase twice in 4 years [COMMENT]

The Finnish authorities intend to increase the budget of the Ministry of National Defence for 2023 to 5.9 billion euros. This is 775 million euros (15%) more than in the current year, the Finnish Ministry of Defence said. If you take into account additional reserve funds to cover the cost of exchange differences erstwhile buying an F-35 fighter, it turns out that the nominal budget will almost double in 4 years, without taking into account the costs of joining NATO.
