The conflict in Ukraine has demonstrated a drastic shift in warfare due to the use of inexpensive drones, which can destroy high-value military assets. Ukraine faces ongoing challenges defending against drone attacks targeting infrastructure. Observing Ukraine's struggles, NATO countries bordering Russia are developing a defense strategy called the Baltic Drone Wall, with investments exceeding $12 million. This initiative aims to establish a comprehensive drone detection and countermeasure system to prevent unauthorized drones from crossing borders, thereby enhancing security for these vulnerable nations.
The country, like most others, had very little drone protection in place before the war and is now rapidly trying to shore up those defenses while under fire.
One of the biggest defensive struggles for Ukraine has been trying to shoot down or otherwise disable the nightly attacks on their power plants.
The ultimate goal is to fully cover hundreds of miles of the border with Russia so that no drone can pass over the wall without being detected.
NATO countries that share a border with Russia...could be particularly vulnerable to swarms of drones launched over their borders.
