Poland to build $2.2 bn anti-drone defenses
Poland is building a big defense system to stop drones from entering its airspace.
This system will cost about $2.2 billion and will use different technologies like jammers and missiles.
The first parts of the system will be ready in about six months, and the whole thing will take two years to finish.
Poland is doing this because there have been some drones, possibly from Russia, flying into Polish airspace.
The government wants to be prepared for any future threats.
Most of the money for this project will come from Europe, and some will come from Poland's own budget.
This is part of a bigger plan to keep Poland safe.
Poland is building a $2.2 billion multi-layered anti-drone defense system along its eastern border.
The system will include drone-jamming systems, machine guns, cannons, and missiles.
First capabilities are expected within six months, with full completion in two years.
The project is funded by European funds and Poland's defense budget.
The move follows recent incursions by suspected Russian drones into Polish airspace.
