Episode Details

Ireland is set to deploy a cutting-edge military radar system from France, marking a major leap in national air defense. Designed to deliver a complete, real-time picture of our skies — including coastal and long-range tracking — the system will be fully operational by end of 2028, with initial components arriving next year. Chosen after a rigorous selection process, this partnership will dramatically enhance our ability to monitor and protect airspace, especially when paired with future ground-based air defense systems. However, a critical gap remains: without fighter jets to intercept threats, the radar’s full potential can’t yet be realized — making this a vital enabler, not a complete solution.
