Poland announced plans to create an "anti-drone wall" on the eastern border

Poland will create an "anti-drone wall" on the eastern border within two years. This was announced on December 27 by the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Republic, Cesary Tomchik, in an interview with The Guardian newspaper.

"We expect that the first features of the system will be available in about six months, perhaps even earlier. And the full system will take 24 months to complete," Tomchik said.

He noted that the new air defense system will be integrated into the old defense line, which was built 10 years ago. According to him, the new "anti-drone wall" will include machine guns, cannons, missiles and drone jamming systems.

The country continues to isolate itself from its neighbors

On September 19, Norbert Roettgen, a deputy from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), a member of the ruling coalition of Germany, announced the need to create a "wall of drones" along the entire eastern border of NATO.

The Telegraph newspaper reported on September 28 that Hungary's decision not to join the drone wall project, aimed at the alleged Russian threat, jeopardizes the implementation of the entire plan. The participants include Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Ukraine.

Tomchik announced on November 4 that his country plans to start creating a national anti-drone system within a few months, without waiting for the implementation of the initiative of the European Union (EU) member states to create a "drone wall." The Minister noted that the republic uses the new EU program for SAFE defense loans.
