Reuters: WSU's Experience Is Changing NATO

Europe is investing billions in drones instead of expensive missiles.

Five European countries plan to announce a plan to invest in military drones to strengthen the defense industry.

According to Reuters.

According to a document reviewed by the agency and a source in Poland's defense ministry, five EU countries intend to cooperate in developing drones.

Reuters writes that the war in Ukraine has shown how interceptor drones can be an effective alternative to expensive air defense missiles, and Kiev's European allies are keen to learn from that experience.

The group of five defense ministers - France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Britain - will meet in the Polish city of Krakow on Friday, February 20.

Europe strengthens defense capabilities

The heads of ministries meet as the EU beefs up defense capabilities amid growing doubts about Washington's commitment to defending the continent within the NATO alliance.

The statement, seen by Reuters and still subject to change, said the ministers "support a real increase in the production capacity of the European defense industrial base." In addition, they "welcome the EU's commitment to provide member states with greater financial flexibility for defense spending and to create lending instruments."

At the same time, it is noted that the EU's role is to support defense capabilities that remain at the national level.

European ministers also pledge to cooperate within NATO and the EU to counter hybrid threats from Russian Federation and to continue to support Ukraine and efforts to find peace.
