Several intrusions of Russian drones in the European sky have been reported in recent weeks (in Estonia, Romania, Poland and now in Denmark)). Faced with the Russian threat, the European Union wants to strengthen its security with an “anti-meal wall”. A dozen countries now consider him a “priority”.
Growing drone pressure in Europe
Violations of European airspace have multiplied In recent weeks. In Polandon the night of September 9 to 10, 2025, a Twenty Russian drones have penetrated the territory. This caused the air forces to be alerted and the temporary closure of several airports. In RomaniaRussian drones have also been detected near the Danube Delta. In Estoniathree Russian mig-31 bombers raised aerial space, arousing a NATO reaction.
But it is at Denmark that the alert has been mounted in recent days. Drones observed above Four Danish airports During the night of Wednesday to Thursday disrupted traffic. Furthermore, a new overview targeted the Karup air baseone of the country’s major military sites. So far, none of these drones has been shot, which reinforces the idea that these incursions seek to Test the European response.
These events arise as the 27 Member States expressed their intention to Dress an anti-meal wall Between Europe and Russia. A collective response to this new mode of air provocation.
The anti-meal wall: a strategic and technological concept
The “anti-meal wall” (or “Wall drone”) is not a physical barrier proper. This is a system of defense Multacked air. He is intended for detect, neutralize Or fell hostile drones. The goal is to strengthen and intervention capacities.
“Russia tests the European Union and NATO; Our answer must be firm, united and immediate ”says Andrius Kubilius, European Defense Commissioner.
The Ministers of Defense of ten countries Europeans (Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Finland) gathered to boost this project. EU has formalized the launch of the programwhich will be based on detection technologies (radars, acoustic sensors) and interception capacities. The wall could be installed in one year oldand a technical roadmap is being developed.
Draw inspiration from the Ukrainian model
To go faster, Europeans could draw inspiration from systems deployed in Ukraine. For example, Ukraine uses Acoustic sensors (ZVOOK) : more than 16,000 sensors Distributed over its territory capture the sound of enemy drones. These sensors transmit the data to a command center, which can order the interference or theslaughter.
This kind of technology is already available and could quickly respond to the emergency. Launching European production for these systems could delay the deployment of three years According to some evaluations. The total cost is estimated to several hundred thousand euros.
