European Leaders Tackle Drone Threats in Copenhagen
European leaders, bolstered by NATO reinforcements, convened in Copenhagen to address escalating drone threats. The meeting comes amidst growing concerns about Russian aggression and the need for enhanced security measures.
Denmark and Sweden, with EU support, have already initiated joint maritime operations in the Öresund and Kattegat to bolster security in these strategic waterways. The two nations are now contemplating more aggressive policing of the Danish Straits, further demonstrating their commitment to countering Russian aggression.
Daniel Hegedus of the German Marshall Fund, while advocating for immediate defense measures like Ukrainian capabilities, cautioned against over-reliance on a 'drone wall'. He emphasized the importance of deterrence and immediate costs for Russia. Experts have also criticized the term 'drone wall', warning it may foster a false sense of security against aerial incursions.
Ukraine, with its extensive experience in defending against drones and missiles, has offered to assist Europe in building a robust defense shield. The European Commission has proposed four flagship projects, including an 'Eastern Flank Watch' and a 'drone wall', aiming to strengthen European defense by 2030.
In response to the growing threat of drone incidents, European leaders are fortifying their defenses. While acknowledging the need for immediate measures, they are also looking ahead to 2030, with the European Commission's proposed projects set to enhance Europe's security posture.
