Finland Drafts Legislation To Permit Police Shooting Down Drones
Finland is investing €50 million to develop a multi-layered counter-drone system. The initiative includes a fixed surveillance system for the eastern border and coastline, alongside mobile units. The Finnish government is currently drafting legislation that would permit police to shoot down drones and other unmanned aircraft if deemed necessary. The proposed law reform would also increase the authority of the Finnish defense forces to intervene in such situations. This development occurs amid ongoing discussions regarding the Middle East crisis and regional security.
