Considering the growing use of drones in Latvia and the widespread availability of such devices worldwide, drones have been spotted close to Latvian military grounds, as LETA was told by the National Armed Forces.
There are cases when it is not possible to identify the drone, as there are no available means of preventing all unsanctioned drone flights, NBS explains, adding that the industry is actively working on improving this situation. Latvian armed forces actively follow the development of technologies to find ways to improve drone countermeasures.
Considering that the issue of drone counter-action capability is classified information, the National Armed Forces are not authorised to disclose information neither on the location of this capability nor technical capabilities.
In cases when it is possible to identify a drone pilot, NBS look up information and contact that person to request explanations. If a violation is identified, the Military Police commence administrative proceedings.
