## Resource

Ireland is gearing up for its EU presidency with serious security upgrades, including a bold new twist: its Air Corps is now training to shoot down drones using helicopter-mounted machine guns. In a May exercise, crews successfully neutralized remote-controlled aircraft and practiced intercepting fast boats, all to stay ready for emerging threats during their six-month leadership role.
