Brussels calls the project, which gained traction last year, a \u201cbedrock of credible defense\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The European Union’s proposed ‘drone wall’ is a “utopia”<\/em> that is impossible to implement, Romanian Defense Minister Radu Miruta said Thursday.<\/p>\n

Senior EU officials and lawmakers have promoted the vaguely defined ‘drone wall’ as central to the economic bloc’s military buildup against a perceived Russian threat. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen insisted in her September State of the Union address that it is “not an abstract ambition”<\/em> but “the bedrock of credible defense.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“A drone wall, where someone, like in a computer game, makes a curtain through which absolutely nothing passes, is a utopia,”<\/em> Miruta, who took office in November, told the TV channel Digi 24. “We don’t have a wall. Poland doesn’t have a wall, nor do the Nordic countries.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Proponents describe the project as a network of detection and interception systems along NATO’s eastern flank. Kiev said Ukrainian drone innovations would be essential to it, but reports suggest<\/a> the ‘drone wall’ is more a PR label than a viable military concept.<\/p>\n

The idea gained traction last fall amid reports of “mystery drone”<\/em> sightings across Europe, which officials and media linked to Russia without firm evidence.<\/p>\n

Moscow called the claims part of a Brussels-led fear campaign to distract European voters from domestic problems and justify higher military spending. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said<\/a>, “building walls is always bad, as history shows,”<\/em> in comments regarding the ‘drone wall’ concept.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
