Russian drones are testing NATO's patience. The threatened country is seeking a cheap solution from the Czech Republic.

NATO's eastern wing faces threats from Russian and Ukrainian drones, prompting the use of costly F-35 and F-16 jets. The Royal United Services Institute suggests the Czech L-39NG Skyfox as a cost-effective alternative. Interest in acquiring these aircraft has emerged from Estonia, while Latvia and Lithuania remain hesitant. The financial burden of military aviation is highlighted, with experts advocating for regional cooperation to ensure operational reliability. The need for a minimum number of aircraft for effective defense is emphasized, as Estonia considers its options amidst budget constraints.
