Europe wants to build a drone wall to protect its eastern flank from Russia. Is it feasible? 😊

Cikk tartalma röviden

Ursula Von Der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, emphasized the need for a 'drone wall' in her State of the Union address, responding to calls from the Baltic states. EU defence commissioner Andrius Kubilius plans to convene defence ministers to discuss this initiative following recent drone incidents over Poland. The project involves a multilayered drone defence system called Eirshield, developed by DefSecIntel and Origin Robotics, which automates drone detection and interception. Despite initial funding rejections from the EU Commission, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are investing in the project.
