Nevertheless, the effort received more than $107 million in funding from the EU-run European Defence Industrial Development Program in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investigate-europe.eu\/posts\/eurodrone\" target=\"_blank\">a survey<\/a> carried out by the cross-border journalism cooperative Investigate Europe, the other 23 European Union members were asked if they would consider purchasing the Eurodrone once it became operational. None of the 10 governments that responded showed much or any inclination to join the program or purchase the future platform, the journalism organization found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFour member states reject the project, six are waiting to decide and from the Portuguese Ministry of Defense came a similar response to those from the Netherlands and Denmark, that there was no expression of interest from the armed forces,\u201d the survey found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also last year, France reaffirmed its intention to buy a total of six Eurodrones, four of which are already on order. The government\u2019s aim is to gradually replace its Reaper drone fleet, set to retire after 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of now, the Eurodrone is not expected to enter service before 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Editor\u2019s note: This story was updated on Nov. 10 to reflect that the group of Eurodrone countries includes Italy, Spain, Germany and France.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The deal marks the first step toward the platform\u2019s eventual test
