On October 17, two drones of unknown origin were observed near the 2nd Infantry Brigade base of the Estonian Defense Forces in Reedo, in the south of the country. One of the drones was shot down by allied forces with an anti-drone rifle.
After the incident, the Estonian forces, in cooperation with the police and border guard (PPA), carried out a search operation, but were unable to find the downed equipment. Spokesperson for the General Staff, Liis Waxmann, stated that security details would not be made public.
Reedo houses the 5th Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment of the US Army, an armored reconnaissance unit that is part of the NATO forces. The city is about 45 km from the Russian border, and Estonia has already declared that it is ready to shoot down Russian planes if any threat is detected.
