Estonia's Interior Ministry announced the deployment of stationary drone detection and surveillance systems along the Russian border. This represents an important step in enhancing the country's border security, given the drone threat that has grown substantially in recent years.

The stationary drone detection systems enable continuous monitoring of airspace near the border and allow for faster responses to potential threats than previously possible. Until now, mobile solutions were predominantly used, which did not provide round-the-clock coverage.

The drone threat is becoming an increasingly pressing issue in Europe, particularly in Russia's neighbouring countries. In recent years, Estonia has made substantial investments in both border infrastructure and surveillance capabilities to ensure national security in a changing security environment.
