During a recent press conference, Latvia's President Edgars Rinkevics highlighted a critical need: the development of sophisticated anti-drone defense systems among NATO countries. This call to action comes in light of recent Russian drone incursions into Polish airspace, prompting raised security concerns across the region.
In response to these provocative acts, NATO has taken decisive action by launching a new mission, dubbed 'Eastern Sentry.' This initiative aims to strengthen the defense capabilities of Europe's eastern border, specifically addressing vulnerabilities exploited by Russian drone activity.
Scheduled to begin on Friday, 'Eastern Sentry' represents NATO's commitment to enhancing regional security and maintaining stability within member states. As tensions remain heightened, NATO continues to evaluate and respond to emerging threats along its eastern frontier.
