Drone alerts, shelters and fighter jets over the Baltics are making Europe’s security debate feel much more concrete. Politico Europe discusses the issue in its Brussels Playbook Podcast from the GLOBSEC forum in Prague.

Journalists Zoya Sheftalovich and Nick Vinocur examine a wave of drone incidents linked to Russia’s war against Ukraine. For the Baltic states, the issue is especially sensitive because airspace violations quickly raise questions about the response from NATO and the EU.

The podcast underlines that drone incidents have become a practical challenge for European air defence. The RSS excerpt does not give concrete damage figures or new political decisions, so EuroPulse does not add such details.
