PoliticsNATO air defenses need modern capabilities, general says

NATO has consolidated regional air-policing missions and efforts to counter drones and missiles into a unified 360-degree air defense mission, but lacks the means to detect and intercept aerial targets, Lieutenant General Guillaume Thomas said. He called for modern command-and-control tools, sensors and effectors, and urged NATO countries to invest in developing and producing more air defense systems.
