EU Commissioner Henna Virkkunen unveiled a strategy to tighten drone regulations and establish a defensive drone wall by 2027 following airspace violations at critical infrastructure sites.The plan lowers the mandatory registration threshold for drones to 100 grams and introduces geofencing to prevent unauthorized flights over sensitive locations like airports and nuclear plants.This initiative coordinates with NATO operations on the eastern flank and includes the deployment of a new USA anti-drone system to counter malicious activity.
