Baltic Defence Weekly – No. 72 (2–8 March 2026): Hanwha’s €100m Estonia Investment, Tank Assembly in Lithuania, and the Drone-Warfare Reality

This issue’s top story: Hanwha Aerospace will invest ~€100 million in Estonia, including a 40mm ammunition factory (capacity 300,000+ rounds/year) plus a new competence centre for maintenance and upgrades—positioning Estonia as a Nordic-Baltic land-systems hub. We also cover Lithuania’s move to fast-track its Leopard 2A8 tank assembly plant as a strategic project, a candid insight from KrattWorks’ CEO on what’s holding European drone manufacturing back, and Latvia’s big week—from a record-fast Ukraine fundraiser to testing the Skorpion 2 mine-laying system.
