Parliament is about to discuss budgets – and many on the right-wing say there has to be more for defence in the wake of the Ukraine invasion.
The defence minister, Viola Amherd, has a list of wants.
Much needs to be spent on IT, communications and cyber defence. But also, the army is looking at 200 tanks, new artillery, more personnel transporters and helicopters.
But the money will have to come from somewhere. Should it be taken from social care, benefit payments, international development or the asylum sector?
But there are worries that even if the army was given the money it needs, it may not be able to buy it on the market as many other countries are re-arming.
