**How this item counts.** Towards dependence: it changes who made the parts. Binding 2 of 3 (agreed or funded), scale 2 of 3 (medium), Verified counts in full: weight -4 of 36 possible. Sweden funds €620m US-made HIMARS buy; Finland production cooperation still only declared intent. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
