The port of Antwerp will get its own anti-aircraft defence system in 2027, Prime Minister Bart De Wever (Flemish nationalist N-VA) told a meeting of the Antwerp port community. Daily Gazet van Antwerpen reported the news that was confirmed by the Port of Antwerp-Bruges. It had already emerged that the Belgian army had purchased Norwegian NASAMS anti-aircraft weapons, but the exact locations where these would be stationed were still unknown.
