NATO representatives inspect Estonian firm KrattWorks' air defence training targets

Estonian company KrattWorks, which manufactures training aerial targets for air defence forces, hosted NATO member state representatives on Thursday. The firm produces a niche but highly sought-after product used in anti-aircraft training exercises.

Estonian defence technology firm KrattWorks welcomed representatives from NATO member states on Thursday to examine its range of training aerial targets designed for air defence units.

KrattWorks occupies a specialised niche in the defence industry, producing unmanned aerial targets that allow anti-aircraft crews to practise engaging real airborne objects without the cost or risk associated with live aircraft. The products are considered essential for maintaining the readiness of modern air defence forces.

The visit by NATO representatives underscores growing allied interest in cost-effective training solutions as member states accelerate efforts to strengthen their air defence capabilities amid heightened security concerns in the region.
