Why are expensive fighter jets a poor solution for countering low-cost drones?

@cornellbtpi.bsky.social Executive Director @jamespattonrogers.bsky.social tells @cnn.com that Europe must adopt a layered defense posture to counter drone threats.

Why Trump Wants Greenland—And Why He Probably Won't Get It He's not the first to set his sights on the island.

Why does Trump want Greenland? Will he get it? BTPI Executive Director @jamespattonrogers.bsky.social and Caroline Kennedy-Pipe answer those questions in their new TIME article. Check it out below!

The Geographical Journal | RGS Research Journal | Wiley Online Library The Arctic is not immune to the global proliferation of military drones and the security dilemmas that accompany them.

And for those interested here’s my open access journal article on ‘Arctic drones – A new security dilemma?’ rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

‘We’re all having to catch up’: NATO scrambles for drones that can survive the Arctic In 2023, Mads Petersen, owner of Greenland-based startup Arctic Unmanned, sat in a car to keep warm while he tested a small drone at minus 43 degrees Celsius (minus 45 degrees Fahrenheit).

Drones are proliferating around the world at a record pace. This includes across the Arctic, where every Arctic state has harnessed military drones to keep a watchful eye as tensions increase: www.reuters.com/world/nato-s...

Why Trump Wants Greenland—And Why He Probably Won't Get It He's not the first to set his sights on the island.

History shows that strong alliances and mutual agreements—something that Trump is no fan of—are the key to countering the very real threat to the U.S. and its NATO allies in the Arctic: time.com/7208293/buyi...

Why Trump Wants Greenland—And Why He Probably Won't Get It He's not the first to set his sights on the island.

Our new article in TIME reveals the long history of ‘buying the Arctic’ and how it might not be as straightforward as Trump thinks: time.com/7208293/buyi...

What’s the history of drone warfare and how has it developed in increasingly worrying ways as the technology spreads around the world?

Trump provokes anxieties with Greenland, Panama Canal military talk President-elect Trump’s refusal to rule out military action to attain his ambitions of acquiring the Panama Canal and Greenland has sparked some stern responses overseas and spurred a global debate…

It’s fair to say that Denmark has neglected Greenland for years, both economically & in terms of defense, dragging their feet over vital military investment (especially in drones, ships, and ISR)

As I argue in The Hill, it's these shortfalls that open the door to Trump: thehill.com/policy/defen...
