According to the scenario my country has 2 billion dollars to spend on equipment above their normal defensive spending.
I really don’t see the point in putting too much money into the army. If the enemy lands forces on my shores I have already failed my population and country. First, I would purchase a modern SAM system like NASAMS II, TOR-M2, or SpyDer air defense system. Next, I would buy modern anti-armor missiles like Spike MR and Spike ER. Lastly, I would invest in a sniper training program and some new sniper rifles like the M107 (12.7mm), TRG-42 (.338 Lapua Mag), and M110 (7.62mm).
I believe a strong Navy and Air Force would protect my shores and discourage any attempts against my sovereignty.
Sweden has a surplus of JAS-39A in storage looking for a new home. These birds should be less than 40 million a piece and can be armed with RBS-15 and AMRAAM or Derby air to air missiles. New trainers would also be needed and should have a secondary strike capability. I like the EMB-314 and AT-63 for this role and for the price.
For my Navy I would try to get the same deal that Sweden offered Croatia when they offered two free Goteborg Class Corvettes with the purchase of the JAS-39 Gridpen for their Air Force. I would then try to purchase the other two Goteborg Class Corvettes and the Two Stockholm Class Corvettes. These ships are small enough to hide in the littorals but have enough fire power to bring down major warships with their RBS-15 missiles. I would also purchase two Andrasta Class Submarines and two Pansio Class Minelayers armed with the Sea Mine 2000.
The threat of small submarines in the littorals, Sea Mines, RBS-15 armed corvettes, and JAS-39 Gripens should deter my enemy and secure my sovereignty.
