So Belgium has gone on a shopping spree for new heavy weapons at the moment for 14 bil €:
2 frigates with ABM capacity, perhaps extra F35, 15 light and 5 heavy helos, armored 120 mm mortar carriers, 155mm Caesar howitzers, EBRC Jaguars, VBMR Griffons, one long range and one medium range SAM (Aster 15 and 30) battery, a drone force, participation in a new joint European tank project, not to mention large stockpiles of ammo ect....
Problem is that they cannot find the people to actually enlist in the army to use all the stuff...at the moment the army has 22k personell, and 35k are needed for what they are now buying.....
