EU leaders discuss plans to counter Russian drones with ‘drone wall

Copenhagen, Ocr 2 (UNI) After weeks of repeated incursions into European airspace, officials are meeting in the Danish capital Copenhagen where they are expected to discuss several measures intended to protect the continent’s skies, including a flagship “drone wall” initiative.
The commission, alongside the European Union, is working to build a “Defence Readiness Roadmap,” a source with knowledge on the topic told CNN earlier this week. The roadmap will include four defense projects, including the drone wall, the source said.
The drone wall initiative would not be a physical wall, but instead a layered network of detection and interception systems, building on individual EU members’ anti-drone capabilities, reports CNN.
