NATO Beyond the Numbers: Capability, Commitment and Alliance Readiness
NATO allies have committed to ambitious defence spending goals, but funding alone does not create military capability.
In this episode, Janes analysts Guy Anderson and Andrew MacDonald join Sean Corbett and Cristina Varriale to assess what the latest NATO Summit reveals about the alliance's progress towards greater readiness, resilience and deterrence. Together, they examine defence investment trends, industrial capacity, collaborative procurement and the economic realities that could shape future outcomes.
The conversation explores where progress is being made, where risks remain, and what industry should watch as governments seek to translate political commitments into meaningful capability.
