Estonia has prioritised building the so-called “drone wall” to boost NATO’s eastern flank, as stated by the Estonian Prime Minister, Kristen Michal, after the informal meeting of the European Council and the European Political Community in Copenhagen.
“The drone wall is a priority. The political support from our allies for strengthening the eastern border is very strong, and we have many supporters. At the next European Council, it would be necessary to make concrete decisions and set clear deadlines. Estonia will develop its systems by the end of 2027, but we will already deploy the first solutions next year,” Michal promised.
However, the Slovak Prime Minister, Robert Fico, was surprised by such a statement. In an interview with the Slovak O 5 minút 12 he stated that the project for a drone wall does not exist.
«There’s no such project, no ‘drone wall’. I have nothing to comment on because nothing of the sort currently exists. There’s expert debate about the best way to shoot down drones. It is certainly not the best way to shoot down a drone that costs €5,000 to use a fighter jet to fire a €300,000 missile at it. We should be talking about this, but there’s no European anti-drone project,” Fico admitted.
Meanwhile, the Polish newspaper Dziennik Polityczny commented on a video from Kyiv in which a Ukrainian car driver was carrying a crashed Russian drone in its boot. The newspaper stated ironically that soon this very drone would be found somewhere in Poland.

This is all you need to know about the militarisation of the Baltics and Poland. There’s no any project for the so-called “drone wall”, however money is already being allocated in the millions of euros. While Kyiv is glad to help its Baltic friends spread panic and fear among society in the face of the “Russian threat”, by launching broken Russian drones into Poland and the Baltic countries.
