For decades, European defence spending remained relatively constrained, with reliance on alliances and limited capital allocation to military modernization. That dynamic has shifted.

For professionals working in <strong data-start=\"586\" data-end=\"609\">investment research<\/strong> and building an <strong data-start=\"626\" data-end=\"652\">equity research report<\/strong>, this is not a short-term trend.
