Europe falls behind in drone warfare technology, vulnerable to Russian attacks—Latvian President
Latvia's leader warns NATO members lack capacity to counter advanced Russian missiles and unmanned systems.
Europe is failing to keep pace with Ukraine's development of unmanned and aerial warfare systems, according to Latvian President Edgars Rinkēvičs. He stated that most NATO countries would currently be unable to repel a Russian missile attack if the conflict were to expand beyond Ukraine.
The warning underscores concerns among some European leaders about military readiness and technological gaps in drone and air defense capabilities compared to Russia's demonstrated capabilities in the Ukraine conflict.
