EU Commission Adds €130M for Member State Counter-Drone Capabilities

The European Commission is allocating an additional €130 million under the Instrument for Governance and Management to bolster member states' defenses against drones. This follows a pattern of increasing EU-level defense funding, but the specific allocation signals a heightened priority on counter-drone capabilities. The move is part of broader EU efforts to enhance military readiness, though details on implementation and distribution remain unclear.
