Europe's drone defences have a Moldova-sized gap. Can Washington plug it?

RIGHT THE TIMELINE ON THIS IS MAD, IT IS LIKE LEAVING YOUR REFRIGERATOR WIDE OPEN IN A HEATWAVE AND ACTING SURPRISED WHEN THE MILK SPOILS, AND DO NOT TELL ME THIS IS NO BIG DEAL BECAUSE A DRONE JUST EXPLODED NEAR CHIȘINĂU AND IT HIGHLIGHTS A CRITICAL GAP IN EUROPE'S ENTIRE DRONE DEFENSE NETWORK, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE PIECE MOLDOVA HAS MAJOR VULNERABILITIES IN BOTH AIRSPACE MONITORING AND EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEMS, AND THE THING IS THEY ARE SEEING A SHARP INCREASE IN UNAUTHORIZED FLIGHTS RIGHT NOW, SO NOW THE WHOLE QUESTION BEING ASKED IS WHETHER WASHINGTON CAN STEP IN TO PLUG THE GAP, WHICH MEANS EUROPE ESSENTIALLY HAS A MOLDOVA-SIZED HOLE IN ITS AIR DEFENSES WHILE UNAUTHORIZED FLIGHTS KEEP RISING.

YOU ARE GOING TO THINK I AM MAKING THIS UP, BUT RIGHT OUTSIDE CHIȘINĂU IN MOLDOVA A DRONE JUST EXPLODED, AND THAT MATTERS BECAUSE EUROPE HAS A MASSIVE GAP IN ITS DEFENSES RIGHT THERE! AND DO NOT TELL ME IT IS FINE BECAUSE THE ARTICLE SAYS MOLDOVA HAS CRITICAL VULNERABILITIES WITH BOTH AIRSPACE MONITORING AND EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEMS, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE THEY ARE SEEING A SHARP INCREASE IN UNAUTHORIZED FLIGHTS RIGHT NOW, SO NOW THE ENTIRE DEBATE IS WHETHER WASHINGTON CAN ACTUALLY STEP IN AND PLUG THIS THING, AND THE THING IS NO ONE KNOWS IF THEY CAN, WHICH MEANS EUROPE JUST HAS THIS VULNERABLE BLIND SPOT SITTING THERE WHILE UNAUTHORIZED DRONES KEEP FLYING OVER. OK YOUR TURN, TELL ME SOMETHING.

A drone explosion near Chișinău has highlighted vulnerabilities in Moldova's airspace monitoring and alert systems amid a sharp rise in unauthorized flights.
