Sky News presents a timeline of Drone incursions on NATO's eastern flank in 2026 introduced by:
There have been repeated infringements of NATO countries' airspace in recent months, allegedly by Russian drones and jets...
The 'alleged' Russian drones and jets are:
25 March - Ukrainian drone
29-30 March - Ukrainian drone
31 March - Foreign drone
1 April - Ukrainian drone
7 May - Foreign drone
10-14 May - Latvian PM resigns (first ever PM brought down by a drone)
15 May - Finland scrambles jets
20 May - Lithuania 'a drone'
21 May - Latvia 'a drone'
3 June - Drone warnings in Latvia and Estonia
8 June - A drone shot down in Latvia
30 June - At last...a Russian cruise missile crashed in Poland
14 August - drones in Latvia and Romania
16 August - drone shot down in Romania 'might be Russian' or might not
10 September - Russian drone claimed to delay Zelensky flight
15 September - 'a drone' shot down in Lithuania
Two. That's certainly a lot of 'repeated infringements' by Russian drones and jets vs. Ukrainian drones.
Strangely the timeline does not even include the biggest incident of the lot - alleged Russian drone incursions at Leipzig airport and one can only wonder why this has been left out of the timeline.
