"NATO defense ministers are meeting in Brussels amid fears that Russia is probing the alliance's reactions with a number of high-profile incursions into its members' airspace. Among other things, the ministers are expected to discuss establishing a "drone wall" to counter the Russian threat, a project NATO chief Mark Rutte said was being worked on jointly with the EU. Europe has seen a recent spate of mysterious drone flights that have disrupted airports and flown close to military sites in several countries."
"NATO is currently looking at incorporating low-cost technologies, such as those used by Ukraine, into its anti-drone defenses. Current anti-drone systems rely largely on expensive missiles and aircraft. The ministers are also to look at shoring up support for Ukraine against Moscow's full-scale invasion of its territory, with a study released on Tuesday showing a major drop in Western military aid to Kyiv in recent months."
