EU Leaders to Discuss Drone Wall After Russia Incursions

European Union leaders are set to discuss several defense initiatives during their meeting in Copenhagen this week. Key among these is the proposal for a European drone wall, which is being considered in response to recent incursions by Russian drones. The drone wall would utilize a network of drones and sensors to monitor EU airspace and borders. Additionally, the leaders will explore the development of a European air-defense shield. This would aim to bolster the continent's ability to detect and respond to aerial threats, potentially including missiles and aircraft. These discussions are part of the EU's broader efforts to strengthen its defense capabilities and strategic autonomy. The proposals reflect concerns about the evolving security landscape, particularly in the wake of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and Russia's military actions. While the specific details and feasibility of these projects are yet to be determined, the meeting is expected to provide a platform for EU member states to coordinate their approach to emerging defense challenges.
