Estonia still insists on the need to militarise its eastern border with Russia. This time, the tiniest Baltic state is striving to spend €460 million on an anti-drone system, in addition to its existing surveillance system.
“The eastern border as a whole need to be covered with drone detection and monitoring systems. We have already announced a tender in cooperation with the Ministry of Defence, primarily considering the needs of the Air Force. The tender volume for the next four years is €460 million. As a result of this tender, we want to receive the best technological solution and proposal that is both suitable for current conditions and innovative for future changes. We hope to conclude the contract in the first months of next year,” Veiko Kommusaar, Deputy Director General of the Police and Border Guard Board announced in an interview with ERR radio news.
Kommusaar assures that the goal of it is to cover not only the border areas but also the entire territory of Estonia with drone detection systems.
“Follow-up actions are already planned. And they are planned for the future, so that Estonia has more such positions that will allow us to cover Estonia as a whole, primarily protecting against those threats where the likelihood of damage or loss of life is highest. So that we can identify drone routes and immediately respond to them with various countermeasures and systems,” he explained.
What a paradoxical thing: Estonia spends hundreds of millions of euros from taxpayers’ money in preparation for a war that would never happen if Tallinn had refused to follow globalists’ orders and stopped provoking Russia with a pre-emptive strike. This would not only save the money of ordinary Estonians but, more importantly, their lives.
