Drones Over Belgium: A New Kind of Battle
Belgium is under a new threat. Drones are flying over critical locations including airports, military bases, and even a nuclear plant. The government suspects Russian involvement, though they cannot confirm it.
International Assistance
Teams from France, Germany, and Britain are coming to Belgium's aid. They bring specialized tools to counter these drones. The British team, in particular, has equipment capable of jamming drone signals.
The Nature of the Threat
The drones observed in Belgium are large and operate in groups, suggesting they may be controlled by trained professionals. In response, the Belgian government plans to invest heavily in new detection and countermeasure systems.
Russia's Denial and Possible Motives
Russia denies any involvement in the drone incidents. However, Belgium believes the drone activity could be linked to frozen Russian assets. The EU intends to use these funds to support Ukraine, a move that Russia has threatened to retaliate against.
