NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Wednesday reaffirmed that the military alliance and the European Union (EU) are stepping up collaboration to establish a “drone wall” aimed at protecting member states from hostile drone incursions.

Speaking on the matter, Rutte explained that while NATO and the EU share the same strategic goal, their roles in achieving it differ. He noted that NATO provides the military capabilities, whereas the EU leverages its internal market influence to ensure necessary funding and resources are available.

Experts observing the development say this renewed cooperation signals a more unified European approach to emerging security challenges, particularly threats posed by unmanned aerial systems increasingly used in espionage and cross-border attacks.

This initiative highlights the growing priority both NATO and the EU place on technological defense measures to safeguard member states against evolving aerial threats.
