A Russian drone flew into Latvia ’s airspace from Belarus and crashed in Gaigalava parish in Rzekne district on September 7 .

Several measures have already been implemented to strengthen Latvian air defense and border protection, while more general crisis management and strategic communication issues remain.

The drone crash highlights significant vulnerabilities in Latvia 's comprehensive defense system, revealing critical gaps in air surveillance, crisis management, and communication procedures.

Rapid reaction units should be formed in Latgale , which would be able to quickly deploy and wait for the drone in a safe area in potential cases.

Mobile near-airspace surveillance radars were deployed on the border of Latvia to spot drones.

Mobile RBS70 anti-aircraft missiles have also been moved to the border, which can be used to shoot down spotted drones.
