Moderates want to create a drone defense force

The Moderates want to establish a drone defense force of thousands of people trained in defense. Calling it a natural next step in building the world's best total defense, Carl-Oskar Bohlin (M), Minister of Civil Defense, said at a press conference.

Drone protection will consist of employees of authorities, protected areas and critical infrastructure such as hospitals and energy facilities.

Moderate Party leader Ulf Kristersson says the inspiration comes from the drift guard, which was part of the Home Guard between 1944 and 2005.

He says 20,000 men and women were involved in protecting their workplaces, which were of strategic importance to civil defense.

We want to see a new drone defense with a focus on drones and modern risks.

The ambition is for the drone defense to consist of 10,000 people trained in protection. In peacetime, they will carry out their regular duties.
