DID THE DRONE DEVIATE FROM ITS PATH, WAS IT RE-ROUTED, OR WAS IT INTENDED TO FOLLOW THIS COURSE (according to Erkki Koort)?
In a recent development, Estonia has been at the centre of a mysterious drone incident. The source of the potential hostile drone, as well as its original destination and purpose, remain unknown.
The investigation into this incident is ongoing, with security expert Erkki Koort of Postimees and the Estonian Academy of Security Sciences leading some of the efforts. Koort has written about the incident, shedding light on the uncertainties that surround it.
As of now, the cause of the drone straying could be due to GPS jamming, diversion, or intentional flight towards Estonia. The possibility that the drone was intentionally directed towards Estonia is being carefully considered.
Interestingly, the absence of drone technology on Estonia's southern border does not guarantee security from drone threats. This is because, as it stands, there is no surveillance technology deployed on the border, and Estonia does not have any known drone defense systems in place. The implications of Estonia's lack of drone usage and countermeasures are not yet clear.
It's worth noting that Estonia has not been actively using drones, and the drones used actively in the southern region of Estonia are controlled by the Estonian Defence Forces. However, the lack of active countermeasures against drones raises questions about Estonia's preparedness to address such threats.
Estonia's border surveillance is limited to its southern border, leaving potential drone activity beyond its borders unmonitored. Unfortunately, no information is available about any potential drone activity beyond Estonia's borders, or any countermeasures taken in response to the drone incident.
The drone's deviation from its original path and the possibility of it being intentionally navigated or interfered with have raised concerns. The behaviour of the drone could suggest that it was not operating autonomously, but was being controlled by an unknown entity.
The investigation into the drone incident is a critical step towards understanding the nature of this threat and ensuring the security of Estonia's airspace. As more information becomes available, the public will be updated on the progress of the investigation and any countermeasures taken to address this issue.
