EU Eastern States Agree To Create A "drone Wall"

European Commissioner Andrius Kubilius revealed the details.

Countries on the eastern flank of the European Union have agreed to create a "wall of drones" with advanced detection, tracking and interception technologies. EU Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius said this, Reuters reported.

"Russia is testing the EU and NATO and our response must be decisive, united and immediate," he stressed to reporters in Finland after a video conference with defense ministers from the EU's eastern flank and representatives of Ukraine and NATO.

Kubilius said participants agreed to move from "discussions to concrete actions" and that the planned "drone wall" would be part of a broader Eastern Flank program that would include both land and maritime security.

"We will look at how to create a comprehensive European Union industrial policy and financial instruments to make this shield a reality," the commissioner said.

At the same time, he did not provide details on the financing of such a wall, but an EU spokesman told Reuters that EU heads of state and government planned to hold "intensive" discussions on the issue in October.

It is known that representatives from Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Denmark participated in this videoconference.

In the meeting, Kubilius mentioned the need to develop additional capabilities and noted that a detailed technical action plan has been developed together with national experts.

The commissioner believes that the creation of a network of detectors should be a priority, and surveillance systems should be integrated and capabilities in areas such as jamming and interception of UAVs should be improved.
