Estonia
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Ministry of Defence press release entitled European security strengthened under landmark UK and Estonia agreement, published on 16 July 2026, what assessment has been made of the contribution of the UK-Estonia Defence Roadmap to strengthening NATO's eastern border.
Answered by Ministry of Defence
The UK-Estonia Defence Roadmap strengthens NATO's eastern border by deepening bilateral defence cooperation and enhancing NATO's deterrence and defence posture in Estonia. It modernises the UK's Forward Land Forces contribution to NATO through the transition to a Mobile Anti-Armour Force, increases specialist capability and resilience, and expands cooperation on capability development, innovation and interoperability, helping ensure NATO remains prepared to meet evolving security challenges. The UK remains proud to be the Framework Nation of FLF Estonia, and recognises the important role of UK troops in Estonia in defence of the Alliance and the Eastern Flank.
