Estonia will allocate a sum of 200 million euros for the building of a "drone barrier," according to the country's Interior Minister.
The Estonian Interior Ministry has announced plans to construct a "drone wall" along the country's eastern border, with an estimated cost of 200 million euros. The proposed fence, intended to span the entire eastern border, is a response to increasing drone activities in the region.
According to the Interior Minister, Igor Taro, the border will be equipped with electronic warfare equipment after the fence is constructed. No specific details about the drone wall or the electronic warfare equipment have been provided.
Taro has also expressed his intention to discuss with the head of the Ministry of Defense the possibility of border guards shooting down UAVs. However, no timeline for this discussion has been specified.
The news of the proposed drone wall and electronic warfare equipment comes after an Estonian farmer discovered the wreckage of an attack drone. The origin or identity of the attack drone remains unknown. No details about the potential consequences of shooting down UAVs have been mentioned.
It's worth noting that the construction of such infrastructure may be affected by weather conditions, as was the case in Latvia. No timeline for the construction of the drone wall or the installation of electronic warfare equipment has been specified.
Despite the lack of information about the implications of shooting down UAVs or electronic warfare equipment installation, the Estonian government has not provided any response or actions taken regarding the found attack drone or the potential threats it poses.
The source for this information is Baltnews. The unknown farmer who found the debris of the attack drone is not identified by name or details in the available search results.
As the situation develops, more details about the drone wall, electronic warfare equipment, and the Estonian government's response to the increasing drone activities are expected to be revealed.
