If these drone flights were indeed a “test” for NATO, one might expect them to not continue indefinitely as eventually they just become counterdrone training for us.

Patriot, ATACMS and other precision weapons have been heavily depleted, while THAAD interceptors and counterdrone systems have also been shifted to the region. Replenishing inventories could take years.

A counterdrone system you cannot use is not a working counterdrone system.

“air defence systems positioned near Galati could not be deployed. The drone was in Romanian airspace for only a few minutes and flying at a low altitude. Deploying the US drone defence system would have been too dangerous…”

“Surveillance infrastructure is just that: infrastructure,” EFF’s @mguariglia.bsky.social told @nytimes.com. “It will outlast the current World Cup and leave cities with drastically more surveillance to be used on a day-to-day basis."

As Germany invests heavily in drones, Munich has emerged as the nation's hub for development. Amid drone sightings in other parts of the EU, the focus is increasingly shifting to air defence.

It’s good we’re discussing counter-drone measures in the context of Denmark’s EU summit, but can we please not pretend like this is somehow the first time we’re seeing counterdrone systems at high-level events? It’s pretty standard to have systems in place.

This can be read as the Pentagon refusing to deconflict airspace, so the FAA arguably is doing the right thing, though others who are more expert on this should weigh in. cc @faineg.bsky.social

So… in their last class I let my students invest in military tech and should I be concerned that I might have skewed the results just *a tiny little bit* given that all groups went for drones or counterdrone systems?! 😅

The deployment of Ukrainian tech shows how Kyiv has surged ahead in drone and counterdrone technologies that have been ​battle-hardened in its four-year war with Russia.

Even on the arguments merits(as a remote system for counterdrone operations) the vehicle is inapt; because it’s fragile, and has shit carrying capacity.

Useful reminder how difficult it is to correctly calculate the cost - and the benefit - of counterdrone measures (as well as other defence systems).
