Big moves in Europe's skies! 🤯 Vladislav Maslennikov, director of the Russian Foreign Ministry's EU department, has called the EU's reaction to mysterious drones over Denmark and Germany pure 'hysteria'. He argues—in a report by state-owned RIA Novosti—that this panic is a handy excuse to ramp up military spending, even if it dents socioeconomic stability and everyday budgets.
This week, unidentified drones buzzed around Copenhagen Airport and military bases in Germany's northern state bordering Denmark. Danish PM Mette Frederiksen wasted no time calling it a 'serious attack' on critical infrastructure. ✈️🚨
Meanwhile, Vladimir Chizhov, first deputy chair of Russia's Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security, told Russia-24 TV that Russia has zero interest in flexing drone power over EU skies – it simply isn't necessary.
On the other side, EU leaders are still trying to agree on a 'drone wall' plan to block unwanted UAVs. No deal yet, but expect more budget debates and security talks in Brussels soon. 😬
Think about it: whether you're snagging a scooter ride in Ho Chi Minh City or catching an Ola in Bangalore, you know a tech glitch can ruin your day. Now scale that up to an entire airport – yikes! 🤖💥
As tensions zoom higher, let's hope they dial down the drama. After all, stable skies and stable wallets are what we really need. 🌤️💸
