Addressing recent drone incursions over Poland, Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans urged NATO to innovate more efficient methods to neutralize such threats, emphasizing the inefficacy of using advanced F-35 jets to counter drones.

While attending a NATO defence ministers' meeting in Brussels, Brekelmans announced a substantial financial commitment from the Netherlands, pledging 90 million euros towards procuring drones for Ukraine, underlining the strategic partnership.
