Unmanned Airspace editor Philip Butterworth-Hayes comes back to discuss the latest drone related events which created discussions in the airspace community. From the drones found in Leipzig to the frontlines of Ukraine, his insights are very valuable. We also discuss the difference between perceived and real threats and the role of city councils, police, civil aviation authorities, airports and ANSPs in meeting this challenge.

Philip also analyses the latest changes in the Unmanned Airspace Global C-UAS directory – with the September 2026 just published – featuring the latest innovations and offerings in this fast changing industry.
