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.

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.

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?! 😅
