NATO Seeks 'Drone Wall' to Counter Russian Incursions

NATO officials, including Estonian Minister of Defence Hanno Pevkur and Netherlands top general Onno Eichelsheim, emphasized the need for a ‘drone wall’ architecture to counter Russian drone incursions across Europe. The initial goal is to have the system fully functional by the end of 2027, with a focus on detection, tracking, and neutralization capabilities. The European Union’s Defense Readiness Roadmap is aligned with this effort, which aims to develop a 360-degree approach to counter-drone capabilities.
