“NATO must take down provocative Russian drones in airspace”
Aircraft from NATO countries stationed in the Baltic States should be allowed to shoot down Russian drones if they fly in NATO airspace. So says Lithuanian Defense Minister Laurynas Kasciunas.
After all, last weekend a Russian kamikaze drone crashed in Latvia. Latvian authorities have confirmed that the drone was loaded with explosives. The drone reportedly entered Latvian airspace from Belarus. Russian drones were also spotted in Romanian airspace last weekend. And this calls for targeted action, stresses Lithuania.
Currently, although aircraft from various NATO countries already patrol airspace over Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, they do not shoot down drones. And this is something they want to make possible in Lithuania from now on, given the increasing number of Russian violations of NATO airspace.
