The European Commission has unveiled a slate of new large-scale defence projects to help member states strengthen their defence capabilities through teamwork.
Presented on Friday, the five projects focus on drones and counter-drone systems, maritime and seabed defence, space, air power and missile defence.
Special emphasis will be placed on beefing up the continent's eastern flank. A series of drone incursions has lately prompted questions about how the nine countries spanning from Finland to Bulgaria can strengthen their ability to deter and respond to potential threats.
