   The report expands the scope of flagship projects to include new threats like Russia's war and hybrid attacks, and adds specific initiatives for drones and the eastern flank. It strengthens cooperation with NATO and Ukraine, and calls for a single defence market and joint procurement targets. It adds detailed governance, funding, and export control mechanisms, including parliamentary scrutiny and an off-budget instrument. It updates references to the EDIP regulation and adds new recitals on space and critical infrastructure.
