Latvia plans to deploy cost-effective counter-drone systems on its eastern border by the end of summer 2026. In cooperation with Ukraine, Latvia intends to establish counter-drone system production facilities in border regions. Some domestically produced interceptor drone systems purchased by the National Armed Forces have already been deployed and integrated into the overall air defense sensor network. Full coverage of the border with Russia and Belarus requires more work but will be completed within set deadlines, according to Latvian officials.
