💨 Abstract

A French military jet shot down a Russian drone that entered NATO airspace over eastern Latvia. The drone, part of alleged Russian electromagnetic warfare, was intercepted by a French Rafale fighter jet on a NATO mission. This incident highlights ongoing tensions as Russia reportedly stockpiles fiber-optic drones, posing a threat to Baltic states. Experts suggest Russia views these states as vulnerable due to their lack of combat experience with drone warfare and Europe's perceived reluctance to engage in conflict.
