BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Belgium’s Defence Minister Theo Francken said on Wednesday the Belgian and Dutch governments will sign a missile defense systems agreement.
“We will sign an agreement with the Netherlands to have .. (a) missile defense system. It will be the NASAMS system, the Norwegian System. We will buy NASAMS to protect our skies,” Francken told reporters on Wednesday ahead of a meeting with NATO defence ministers.
He added that Belgium, which recently opened an investigation into several drones flying over a military base, will have more anti drone and detection systems as soon as possible.
