The Asymmetric Air War

Russia has massively scaled up its production of long-range drones since the full-scale invasion and is gradually improving their technical characteristics and tactics. This buildup now threatens European states, which can detect incursions but lack a cheap way to stop mass incursions. Europe must rapidly field interoperable, low-cost layered counter-drone systems (counter-drones, EW, lasers) and back it with a clear deterrence ladder, or critical infrastructure stays exposed.
