"Do you really think Nato would buy that the bridge would have a strategic significance?" asks a Nato official in a comment to the news site Politico Europe.
The bridge to Sicily is estimated to cost up to 150 billion kronor. In Nato's new budget target, the countries are to annually allocate an amount that is at least equivalent to 3.5 percent of GDP for traditional defense expenditures, but also invest 1.5 percent in things of military benefit – such as bridges, roads and civil defense.
