US EditionEuropean defense ministers are holding ‘drone wall’ talks as airspace violations mount
- On Friday, September 26, 2025, European defense ministers met in Brussels and agreed to establish a drone defense system on the borders adjoining Russia and Ukraine to enhance detection, tracking, and interception of unauthorized drones entering European airspace.
- The agreement follows multiple incidents where rogue drones tested Europe's borders and airports, including NATO scrambling jets on September 10 to shoot down Russian drones over Poland and drone-related airport closures in Denmark this week.
- EU Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius led a virtual meeting with representatives from 10 countries to enhance the detection, monitoring, and coordinated response to drone threats along the section of Europe's eastern border near Russia and Ukraine.

- The drone wall initiative seeks to address defensive vulnerabilities amidst the ongoing Russian threat and hybrid warfare challenges confronting all EU member states, with further deliberations scheduled during the upcoming EU leaders' meeting in Copenhagen next Wednesday.
