"Developing nuclear weapon + delivery vehicle might cost 2-3% the combined GDP of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, spread over several years." Deterrence require probably more than tactical nuclear weapons like bombs and cruisemissiles. Ballistic missiles in submarines, will be very expensive.

"A weapon’s cost-effectiveness is meaningless if it cannot be produced quickly or in sufficient quantity. True cost-per-effect must therefore account for not only how efficiently a weapon performs in combat, but also how rapidly it can be produced, replenished, and adapted under wartime conditions."

If the Commission needs a compact analytical cell to improve intelligence briefings, that is defensible. But such a unit should sit under EEAS authority, with shared governance from the Council. Anything else will deepen fragmentation and mistrust. Better a trusted system than an ambitious one.
