Europe will need thousands more tanks and troops to mount a credible military defence without the US
Europe depends heavily on US and Nato military support for its defence.
A credible European deterrent – one that could prevent, for instance, a rapid Russian incursion in the Baltics – would need a minimum of 1,400 tanks, 2,000 infantry fighting vehicles, and 700 artillery pieces. This is more combat power than currently exists in the combined French, German, Italian, and British land forces.
