European Drone Defence Initiative Expands Protective Vision

The European Commission is expanding its proposed 'drone wall' to encompass the whole continent under a 'European Drone Defence Initiative.' This initiative aims to enhance protection across Europe and will be detailed in a forthcoming 'defence readiness roadmap.'

In a significant strategic shift, the European Commission is set to announce an expanded proposal for a 'European Drone Defence Initiative' aiming to fortify the entire continent. This comes as a development from the initial 'drone wall' concept targeted at Europe's eastern border.

According to two EU officials and a diplomat speaking under anonymity, the comprehensive initiative will be part of an essential 'defence readiness roadmap' that the Commission plans to present on Thursday.

The broader strategy underscores the EU's commitment to enhancing continental security and addressing emergent aerial threats, with details expected to outline how member states will collaborate under this new defensive framework.
