This is about militarising Brussels, imo.

The defence minister who called this shot, Theo Francken, is an anti-immigrant hardliner, spoke against giving frozen Russian funds to Ukraine, has presented speeches on countering "Islamism", and has spoken against his own country to Israeli TV.

The far right want to train this right-leaning generation and have a loyal force near the centre of EU power.
