00:00We've already seen drone incursions into sovereign airspace across parts of Europe, NATO allies.

00:08Is 2035 too late?

00:12No, it will be a process, a phenomenon that will grow and will change within time.

00:20Now we face some events that...

00:22Is that concerning?

00:23It's not concerning because this happened before.

00:27Now we are talking a lot about that because of the situation.

00:30But no, I mean, airspace violation has been pretty frequent on the north.

00:35We have been facing that, escorting the intruders out, not necessarily to shut them down,

00:44if they are not meaning a direct threat to population and infrastructure and on.

00:54So, I mean, this is something that we have been facing and dealing with for a long time.

00:59This latest event was drone, drone, massive number and on and on.

01:03We react with an activity which is an eastern century, reinforcing our air defense system all along the eastern flank.

01:12And we will achieve that within months because there is a lot of stuff you can buy around.

01:18So, I mean, that's something that we will achieve soon.

01:21And then we will adapt to the evolving threat.

01:25And again, we will do and we will be setting up our defenses compared to what will be the evolving threat.

01:33But I can tell you that NATO is perfectly ready to face this kind of threat.
