- A stronger NATO means stronger defence. NATO Allies have committed to
investing 5% of national GDP in defence but funding alone isn’t enough. That’s
why NATO and Allies are working closely with industry partners across the
Atlantic to rapidly scale up defence production and strengthen NATO’s
collective security.

- The scariest weapon facing NATO Allies isn’t necessarily an elite Special Forces operator, nor a stealth fighter: it’s a submarine cruising beneath the ocean’s surface, hidden from view, carrying a belly full of torpedoes and ballistic missiles.
Between their stealth and their firepower, submarines present a uniquely serious threat to NATO’s security. But Allies have an answer: a combination of sub-hunting ships, helicopters and maritime patrol aircraft that use sonar sensors to find submarines, and if necessary, neutralise them.
NATO Allies train to hunt subs three times a year. Each body of water has its own unique characteristics, so Allies need to stay ready to tackle threats wherever they might surface.

- As security challenges in the Baltic region continue to evolve, NATO and Allies are intensifying efforts to protect vital sea routes and critical infrastructure. Maintaining freedom of navigation and safeguarding key maritime areas remain essential for the security of Allied nations.
Exercise Freezing Winds 2025, hosted by Finland, brought together ships from Standing NATO Mine Countermeasures Group One (SNMCMG1) and other Allied units to train side by side in the Baltic Sea’s harsh winter conditions. Over several days, naval forces, divers and mine counter-measure teams practised joint operations to ensure readiness against diverse threats — from detecting and neutralising underwater threats to responding to disruptions affecting vital sea lines of communication. The exercise took place from 24 November to 4 December 2025.
