Baltic Sea nations to form joint task force against drones
Countries with access to the Baltic Sea are negotiating the creation of a joint task force to counter drones, with the goal of ensuring a rapid response to the growing threat of hybrid attacks, German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt announced on Aug. 28, ahead of a meeting with counterparts from Baltic region countries in Flensburg, according to Reuters.
Germany's Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt announced plans to establish a new security task force during a Baltic summit, with the aim of enhancing collective drone defense capabilities in the region. The leaders from Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden, Norway, and Ireland discussed urgent security policy issues, including hybrid threats such as drone attacks, cyber attacks, spying, disinformation, arson attacks, covert operations, and the use of disposable agents.
The task force's goal is to investigate, deter, and defend against these hybrid threats more quickly, transforming the Baltic region from a collective risk area into a collective defensive area.
