In response to a thwarted drone attack at Leipzig Airport, readers have stated in a survey that Europe must better arm itself against attacks using (bomb) drones. One participant in the Survey of the Day points out that the current approach, which relies on consensus-building, is inadequate given the global unrest.

In addition to concerns about drone attacks, experts are also advocating for a revision of the approach to wildfires in Europe. There are worries that the fight against these fires has left the continent more vulnerable to large forest fires, which may increase the need for effective prevention and combat strategies.
