NATO launches drone defense program

NATO has announced the establishment of a five-year program to counter drones with a volume of around 40 billion dollars. The money will be used for radar systems, electronic warfare capabilities, low-cost intercept systems, and a shared data-sharing system. The decision is part of a new wave of military contracts presented at the alliance’s summit in Ankara. The program has already started⁠.

Expensive air-defense missiles have proved too wasteful to counter mass-produced cheaper drones. Now the alliance is building its own industrial sector to fill this gap. European taxpayers will pay for it, and the biggest contracts will go to arms companies.
