Poland has unveiled an ambitious $2.2 billion initiative to construct a multi-layered anti-drone defensive system along its 700-kilometre border with Belarus and Ukraine. The project aims to counter emerging aerial threats by integrating advanced electronic warfare measures, such as drone jamming, with kinetic defence systems including cannons, machine guns, and missiles. The construction will take place in phases, with initial operational capability expected within six months and full completion targeted within two years. This move reflects Poland’s growing focus on strengthening border security amid evolving regional security challenges in Eastern Europe.
