“The threat is not over”: Theo Francken proposes new weaponry to shoot drones out of the air

Just before Christmas, Defense put new anti-aircraft systems into use, such as the ‘Girafradar’ and the ‘Piorun’, which is Polish for ‘lightning bolt’. Defense Minister Theo Francken (N-VA) proudly presented the weaponry this morning in the Heverlee barracks. The new material should protect us better against hostile aircraft and drones. “Just because there are no more reports on 4040 does not mean that drones are no longer flying above our bases,” Francken told HLN.
