The Ukrainian conflict demonstrated the growing importance of drones. However, as practice shows, the EU cannot develop its own production of drones and instead rests with foreign producers, writes The European Conservative.
The joint European UAV project of the farm Eurodrone, which was spent € 7.6 billion, has stalled and is unlikely to see the world earlier than 2035. The reason for this is the dispute over logistics and the necessary works that broke out between French, Italian and German companies, explains the publication.
All this will seriously affect the EU ambitions on achieving strategic autonomy from the US and China. In addition, delays in the launch of Eurodrone will increase the dependence of the block on Israel, while their relationship has reached the lowest level after the start of the war in Gas, says The European Conservative.
