Kristian Sirp and Tõnu Pärn emphasize the need for an integrated approach to drone defense, highlighting that no single method is sufficient. They discuss the increasing use of drones by hybrid aggressors, particularly Russia, in Estonia and Baltic states, posing significant challenges. They call for coordinated detection, identification, and neutralization systems combining kinetic, cyber, electronic, and passive defenses. They stress the importance of integrating multiple technologies into a comprehensive system rather than relying on stand-alone solutions. The article also notes the complexity of legal and operational aspects of drone defense, urging cooperation between military, law enforcement, and civilian sectors.
