European defense ministers agreed on Sept. 26 to develop a “drone wall” along their borders with Russia and Ukraine to better detect, track, and intercept drones violating Europe’s airspace, a move driven by a recent surge in incursions and hybrid attacks.

“Russia is testing the EU and NATO, and our response must be firm, united and immediate,” European Union (EU) Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius said on Sept. 26 after chairing a virtual meeting of 10 countries on Europe’s eastern flank. Ukrainian and NATO officials also took part.
