Estonia is pushing to step into the supply line for a joint European CV90 infantry fighting vehicle program, with BAE Systems Hägglunds in talks over technology transfer and production details. The initiative aims to produce parts for the program, with Tallinn aiming to deliver vehicles by the end of 2030. However, the timeline may not align with BAE’s expectations, according to Estonian Minister of Defense Hanno Pevkur. This move reflects Estonia’s efforts to secure greater autonomy in defense production and procurement, as well as its involvement in regional cooperation on defense projects.
