We also actually heard a statement last week that we do not have the capability to repel such attacks in full during peacetime. What is lacking?
Today, we must still understand that we are dealing with individual drones that have strayed off course and entered Estonian airspace unintentionally, and engaging them is possible today. But again, if we start engaging flying objects at the border, we must also consider the possibility that if we engage them and the drone crashes, for example, on the other side of the border. How will Russia interpret that, and what could it cause on a political level? If, for example, we fire with our new air defense systems at the border, so to speak, in the direction of Russia, we must take into account that those munitions could also land somewhere, and as a result, the damage could be many times greater than this one drone today, which might fall on Estonian territory, or perhaps just continue flying off course and land in the Baltic Sea, for example.
To list it simply: what are our means for repelling and shooting down drones?
We currently have both kinetic and electronic means to engage drones. I cannot say what they are more specifically.
