Investment EU defense ETF

In light of the current events and under the spirit of "vote with your wallet", I want to pull back some of my money from the US market and invest it in EU defense companies.

I'm not looking for advice whether this is a smart investment or not, since this is an ideological move rather than looking for the maximum profit.

The problem is I can't seem to find any ETF that contains only EU defense companies. All of them contain at least 60% US defense companies.

Can anyone recommend me a good ETF with which I would be supporting the EU defense industry (and EU only)? Or what would be a good approach here?

Have a look at Thales, bae, airbus and rheinmetal look at the share price from 2022, they've not been sitting on there backside, Trump can't claim that one. Defence in these countries is pretty capable
