Multiple airspace incursions over Denmark in recent weeks, which disrupted air traffic at several airports, have jolted European Union (EU) leaders into action. At the Copenhagen summit on Wednesday, EU member states discussed having a “Drone Wall” to counter the growing threat of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) allegedly operated by Russia. A similar incident of airspace incursion happened with fighter jets over Estonia and UAVs over Poland, which resulted in invoking Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) founding treaty earlier in September. Article 4 of the treaty allows a member country to request consultations with other Nato members
