Latvia is completing an automated anti-drone wall along its eastern border by late September 2026 to intercept Russian drones before they reach NATO fighter jets. This move addresses the unsustainable cost of using expensive air-to-air missiles against cheap drones, a strategy NATO leaders deem inefficient. While Latvia relies on automated detection and neutralization, other allies are exploring dedicated squadrons of cheaper jet trainers equipped with guided rockets to handle the growing volume of incursions.

Nordic Nations Rally to Strengthen Ukraine's Defense Against Drones

Norway has signed a £56 million ($71 million) contract to provide Ukraine with anti-drone detection and weapons systems. The equipment includes surveillance and target acquisition radar, a remote weapon station with a 30mm low recoil cannon, and a control system. The systems will be mounted on German wheeled vehicles. The provision of these systems aims to enhance Ukraine's defense capabilities against aerial threats and support their efforts to counter Russia's aggression. The contract is part of the UK-led International Fund of Ukraine, which allows participating countries to provide military support without compromising their own capabilities.

Ukraine's Air Force hails drones as revolutionary in modern warfare.

Ukraine's Air Force spokesman, Yuriy Ihnat, has said that unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are revolutionizing modern warfare, with quadcopter types and different levels of UAVs making a significant impact on the battlefield. Ihnat said that Ukraine's UAV industry is developing, and the drones produced are actively used at the front and producing results. However, he also stressed the need to develop anti-drone systems, as the enemy is also developing their own UAVs, including attack drones.
