Specialized anti-drone weapons deployed among security personnel Ahead of Papal Funeral

In preparation for the funeral of the Pope, a significant increase in security measures has been observed.

Among these enhanced security protocols, military personnel have been equipped with specialized weaponry designed specifically for counter-drone operations.

These advanced systems are intended to mitigate potential threats from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), ensuring a secure environment for mourners and dignitaries attending the ceremony.

The deployment of such technology underscores the evolving nature of security challenges in public events, where the risk of drone-related incidents necessitates innovative and effective countermeasures.

Authorities have been working diligently to ensure that all aspects of security are addressed, reflecting the high level of importance placed on safeguarding this major international event.
