MWI Podcast: Europe’s Airspace Violations and the Counterdrone Challenge
John Amble is joined on this episode of the MWI Podcast by Dr. Stacie Pettyjohn, a senior fellow and director of the Defense Program at the Center for a New American Security.

The discussion in this episode examines that challenge.
