The media reported on the possible undermining of the drone wall project due to Hungary's refusal

Hungary's decision not to join the project to build a "drone wall" aimed at the alleged Russian threat jeopardizes the implementation of the entire plan. This was reported on September 28 by The Telegraph newspaper.

"Hungary, one of Russia's closest allies in the bloc, will not take part [in the drone wall project], which means that a hole with an area of 96,000 square kilometers may form in the center of this extremely ambitious project," the article says.

It is clarified that the idea of creating a "drone wall" to protect borders caused associations with the famous defensive "Maginot line". This week, representatives of at least seven European Union (EU) countries, including the countries bordering Russia and Belarus, plan to hold their first joint meeting to discuss this project in detail.

The participants include Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Ukraine. Hungary has not yet confirmed its participation, it follows from the material.

Boundary condition: The "drone wall" will cost the EU €3-7 billion.

The costly project, approved by Brussels, will impose an "unbearable debt" on the countries of the association, the European Parliament warned.

On September 19, Norbert Roettgen, a deputy from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), a member of the ruling coalition of Germany, announced the need to create a "wall of drones" along the entire eastern border of NATO. At the same time, Roettgen does not support the idea of fighting drones in Ukrainian airspace, as this would mean using NATO weapons outside the bloc's territory.
