Episode Details

Ireland is launching its first long-range radar systems next year, marking a historic leap in national defense — finally giving the Defense Forces full visibility over Irish airspace, even for stealthy aircraft. Backed by a €500 million deal with France and approved by Cabinet, this multi-part upgrade includes land, sea, and air defense tech — even targeting drones. The move, spurred by the Defense Forces Commission, aims to deliver complete aerial surveillance by 2028, with counter-drone systems already on track for earlier deployment. This coordinated push is a major security milestone, ensuring Ireland’s skies are fully protected and monitored.
