Germany's military spending has reached over 100 billion euros in 2025, positioning the country as the fourth-largest military spender globally, according to a recent analysis released by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS). This milestone underscores Germany's commitment to significantly increasing its defense capabilities amid rising geopolitical tensions in Europe. Experts note that Russia, despite ongoing military operations, has only seen a slight increase in its military expenditures, which could reflect the country's challenges in sustaining its military efforts.
