On October 17, two drones of unknown origin were spotted near the base of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Estonian Defense Forces in Reedo, in the southern part of the country. One of the drones was shot down by Allied forces with an anti-drone weapon.
After the incident, the Estonian forces in cooperation with the police and the Border Guard (PPA) carried out a search operation, but failed to find the shot device. General Staff spokeswoman Liis Waxmann said security details would not be released.
Reedo is home to the 5th Company, 7th Cavalry Regiment of the US Army, an armored reconnaissance unit that is part of NATO forces. The city is about 45 km from the Russian border, and Estonia has already signaled its readiness to shoot down Russian aircraft if any threat is detected.
