The UK, working with Ukraine to mass produce cheap interceptor drones, is set to anchor a barrier of aerial defences stretching along Nato’s eastern flank. The symbolism is clear: this is not just Ukraine’s war any longer. It is Europe’s.
That is why, at Friday’s emergency meeting of EU defence ministers, officials agreed to draw up plans to build drone defences across Europe’s entire eastern front and its critical infrastructure.
Britain’s Project Octopus – drones ten times cheaper than conventional missiles yet proven effective against Iranian-made Shahed drones – could provide the backbone. Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte has warned that Europe cannot afford to fire million-euro missiles at drones worth a fraction of that. The economics of deterrence demand a new approach.

The implications are stark. The era of hoping Putin could be reasoned with is over. Europe is being forced into a defence revolution, accelerating plans for joint procurement, air defence integration and industrial mobilisation. A £122bn EU loan for Ukraine, based on frozen Russian assets, is moving in parallel, marking a sobering turn in the continent’s security story.
Europe has too often treated Russian aggression as nuisance. The drones buzzing Nordic and Polish skies – not to mention the cyberattacks on European airports – show that conflict is not looming in some distant theatre. It is already at Europe’s gates.
The “drone wall” is no panacea, but it is at least a recognition that war is coming — and that Europe must move even faster.
