At the NATO Summit and Defence Industry Forum in Ankara on Tuesday (7 July 2026), several NATO Allies formed new multinational procurement coalitions. They will jointly acquire critical capabilities, particularly in air defence and strike systems. These coalitions aim to aggregate demand, align procurement, and accelerate the delivery of much-needed equipment for both Allied forces and Ukraine.
In a significant development, the United States and several leading American defence companies agreed new co-production initiatives with major European defence firms. These arrangements will enable the production of key U.S. capabilities in Europe, strengthening industrial cooperation across the Atlantic.
Speaking at the Forum, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte welcomed the announcements. “This is big news, and a demonstration of NATO transatlantic unity in delivering key capabilities for our security,” he said. He added that cooperation was essential, “our Alliance can do more when we do it together.”
The new co-production projects are part of NATO’s efforts to translate the 5% GDP defence investment commitment into real capabilities. They reflect Allies’ determination to close critical gaps faster, by leveraging combined industrial strength across the Alliance.
