The defense ministers of Latvia, Poland, and Romania wrote a joint letter to NATO allies. In it, they emphasized the need to immediately strengthen air defense measures on the eastern flank of the Alliance.
This was reported by Delfi.
It was stated that Latvian Defense Minister Andris Spruds, at the meeting of the defense ministers of the "Bucharest Nine," called to "find immediate collective solutions to strengthen NATO airspace."
The meeting, initiated by Latvia, was attended by representatives from Romania, Poland, and Lithuania to discuss recent violations of NATO airspace by Russian drones, as well as steps at the state and Alliance levels that need to be taken to strengthen NATO's airspace.
The defense ministers of Latvia, Poland, and Romania signed a joint letter to allies. They believe that NATO countries "must strengthen their ability to detect, identify, and neutralize low and slow-flying objects, and the rotation of air defense systems should be implemented immediately."
"Russian aggression continues to pose risks and threats to NATO countries, including violations of airspace by Russian drones. Over the past month, incidents involving Russian drones have occurred not only in Latvia but also in Romania and Poland," Spruds noted.
