EU Commissioner for Defense Andrius Kubilius says Europe must urgently build their own army of drones in order to be ready for the potential attack of Russia in the next five years.
“Russia could have up to five million drones. If we don’t have bigger capacity, we won’t be able to defend yourself,” Kubilius said for Sky News. Warned that every future target of Russian attack would face an army experienced in the fight and capable of mass use of drones, transmits Sky News.
Kubilius personally visited the Ukrainian war zone, including the infamous “Death Valley” along 1200 kilometers of front. “The traditional tank there survives six minutes. Everything is under the supervision of drones,” he said.
Ukraine plans to produce more than four million drones this year, figures that many NATO countries can even imagine.
Similarly warns Jan-Hendrik Boelens from Alpine Eagle, a company that develops intercepts drones with a range of range up to 5 kilometers. “We are absolutely not ready. If Ukraine consumes 3,000 drones a day, European stock would not last for a single hour,” Boelens claims, conveys the morning leaf.
In NATO, there is increasingly clear that drones are the key to future defense. New Alliance Plans include an increase in defense consumption to 5% of GDP by 2035. And multiple strengthening of anti-air defense and unmanned systems. Great Britain, Germany and Denmark have already announced joint production of drones with Ukraine.
