Finland and Estonia team up with startup NestAI to build military AI across allied forces

This is not a splashy weapons contract, it is a research pact between two small NATO members and a defense AI startup most people have never heard of, and that is exactly why it matters. Rather than each country building its own military AI in isolation, Finland and Estonia are betting that interoperable systems, ones that can actually talk to each other in the field, are worth more than anything either could build alone. It previews how mid sized militaries plan to compete on AI: through alliances and shared vendors rather than trying to out spend the US and China.
