Latvia is set to strengthen its anti-drone defences along its borders with Russia and Belarus, Reuters reported.
The Baltic state's move reflects growing concern about drone activity along NATO's eastern flank. Latvia shares borders with both Russia and Belarus, and the decision to upgrade aerial defences underlines the security pressures facing the region.
Reuters gave no specific figure for the investment involved or a precise timeline for when the enhanced defences would be operational. The announcement comes as several NATO member states bordering Russia and Belarus have stepped up military preparedness measures.
Latvia is a NATO and EU member state. The reinforcement of its eastern border defences is part of a wider pattern of Baltic and Nordic states investing in air-threat countermeasures.
Latvia is upgrading anti-drone defences along its borders with Russia and Belarus as NATO's eastern flank faces growing aerial threats. No investment figures or operational timeline have been disclosed by Latvian authorities.
If you monitor defence spending or geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe, this signals escalating NATO military investment in response to Russian and Belarusian drone operations. For energy and infrastructure sectors operating near Baltic borders, the upgrade indicates authorities are treating airspace security as an urgent priority.
