NATO's Rutte calls for transatlantic defense industry 'revolution'

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has urged a significant shift in the defense industry, calling for a "transatlantic defense industrial revolution." Speaking at the NATO Summit Defense Industry Forum in Ankara, Stoltenberg emphasized the need for companies to embrace greater risk and investment.

"The hum of machinery must become a roar," Stoltenberg declared, addressing industry representatives. He stressed that the demand for defense products is robust and that companies should capitalize on this opportunity. The call for increased production and risk-taking comes as NATO leaders prepare to gather in the Turkish capital for a summit.

Stoltenberg's remarks highlight NATO's focus on strengthening its defense capabilities and ensuring a robust industrial base to meet evolving security challenges. The emphasis on a "revolution" suggests a need for rapid adaptation and expansion within the defense sector to meet current and future demands.
