The Dutch military will purchase U.S. and Israeli-made weapons systems to improve its long-range firepower on land, sea and air, the government said on Monday.
State Secretary for Defence Chistophe van der Maat announced the decisions, representing at least 600 million euros ($653.04 million) worth of spending over the coming decade, in a letter to parliament.
"The war in Ukraine shows once again that fire support over short, medium and long range is essential," Van der Maat said in a separate statement on the Defence Ministry's website.
