Abstract
The main trends in the integration of the defence industry of European countries for the period 1990-2023 are considered. Some factors influencing the development of the European defence industry in the context of regional tensions on the European continent are highlighted. The level of ambitions of European countries and the influence of economic factors on them are analyzed. The research results indicate that there is a gradual integration of the European defence technological and industrial bases (EDTIB). Nevertheless, the author comes to the conclusion that in some issues the relative fragmentation of the defence industry and the duplication of certain weapons systems will remain.
