As reported, a piece of Austrian defense history will be written in Bern next Friday: In a letter of intent, the republic will commit itself to the “European Sky Shield Initiative”, ESSI for short. The country is slipping under an international missile shield. We have the most important answers to the controversial decision.
ESSI is one of the largest and most complex armaments projects in Europe. 17 countries want to jointly stretch a comprehensive anti-aircraft umbrella over large parts of Europe. “Sky Shield” is designed to fend off three threats:
- Attacks by drones or threats by misguided drones
- Threat of military aircraft in European airspace
- Ballistic or nuclear missile threat in European airspace
