Europe Turns to Israeli Air Defenses Amid Rising Russian Drone Incursions

Europe is turning to Israeli air defenses as rising Russian drone incursions disrupt airspace and challenge detection and interception capabilities. A report cited dozens of incursions over multiple countries, including flights over sensitive sites and repeated pressure on airports and military operations. EU lawmakers have called for faster delivery of air-defense equipment and greater pooling of resources, especially on the eastern flank. Israeli-made systems are described as part of wider, multilayer defense efforts designed to counter both drones and complex, coordinated aerial threats.
