After a spate of Russian drones appeared in European airspace, the European Commission is exploring a so-called “drone wall,” an air defense system that aims to detect and destroy drones that pass through Europe’s eastern borders.

The European Union is talking about shoring up defenses in its eastern airspace. Recent Russian drone incursions have lent urgency to the project.

Estonia is extending a fence along its border with Russia and building anti-tank ditches and bunkers in preparation for a potential conflict with Moscow.

British-made drones will be deployed to create a “drone wall” to protect Nato from Russian aggression, the Defence Secretary has revealed.

Denmark has temporarily banned civil drone flights in its airspace as it prepares to host a top European Union meeting on defense and the war in Ukraine, and after a surge of suspicious drone activity at several airports and military sites last week.

European countries met Wednesday to push forward a "drone wall" project, an idea gaining momentum as drone incursions into European airspace multiply. However, experts warn the plan’s framework remains unclear and the hurdles to building an effective anti-drone defence system are high.

Ukraine's military is collaborating with European countries to share its expertise in combating Russian drones, with operations already underway in Denmark. This mission hopes to strengthen Europe’s drone defenses as it lags behind Ukraine and Russia in drone warfare technology.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed on Monday that European nations should band together to form a joint aerial shield that would counter Russian drones and missiles should they be aimed at Ukraine’s allies.
