A 48-year-old Belarusian man living in Spain was arrested by French authorities on June 3 for spying on a drone manufacturing plant near Toulouse, France. He was caught filming a prototype drone made by Delair, a company supplying drones to the French and Ukrainian armed forces, and sent the video to someone in Russia. The factory was previously targeted by Molotov cocktails two days earlier. The suspect is held in pre-trial detention, charged with providing information to a foreign power and faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. Delair reported no operational impact from the incident. The arrest is part of broader European concerns about heightened Russian industrial espionage targeting military-industrial technologies.
