Drone-making workshops take off in Paris
As Russia's war in Ukraine continues, Europeans are showing growing interest in defense technologies, particularly drones, with workshops in Paris attracting attendees of all ages.
In Paris, drone-making workshops have recently seen a surge in popularity, drawing participants who want to learn how to assemble and operate unmanned aerial vehicles. These classes are part of a broader trend: Europeans are increasingly turning their attention to defense technologies, especially drones, against the backdrop of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which has now lasted longer than World War I.
The workshops attract a diverse age range, from young people to older generations, all eager to gain hands-on experience. The events are held regularly and are open to anyone interested. Such initiatives reflect rising concerns about future security and a desire to be prepared to defend Europe.
While the workshops are primarily educational, they also signal a shift in public mindset—people are no longer relying solely on traditional armed forces but want to master modern technologies themselves. Drones have become a crucial element of modern warfare, and their use in the conflict in Ukraine has demonstrated their effectiveness.
