Following increased drone harassment by Russia, EU leaders have discussed building a drone defense system ('drone wall') for Europe. Finnish experts interviewed emphasize a multi-layered drone defense system incorporating various detection and countermeasure technologies to address diverse threats. The system would involve comprehensive drone detection via sensors and radars predicting flight paths, threat assessment to decide on countermeasures, use of anti-aircraft and missile systems, anti-drone guns mounted on trucks, counter-drone drones, emerging laser weapons, and fighter aircraft for drone interception where necessary. Additionally, electronic jamming devices would disrupt drone navigation around critical sites. The multi-layer approach aims to prevent adversaries from bypassing single defense methods. Despite ambitions, the comprehensive and credible drone defense system envisioned by the EU will take years to develop.
