Latvia intends to fully equip its eastern border with automated anti-drone systems by the end of September, according to Defence Minister Raivis Melnis. The announcement, made on Latvian Television’s “Morning Panorama” programme, signifies a heightened focus on border security. These systems are designed to counter potential drone-related threats along the eastern frontier. Minister Melnis did not provide specific details regarding the technology or cost of the deployment. The move reflects regional concerns regarding airspace security, particularly given ongoing geopolitical tensions. Completion of the project will provide a significant boost to Latvia’s ability to monitor and protect its border. This initiative demonstrates a proactive approach to safeguarding national interests.
