“We see more drones than a few months ago,” said Thales Belgium director in Belgium Alen Kevrin.
According to him, unknown drones observed the object of the company évegnée fort in the eastern region of Liezh. It is the only facility in Belgium where the company is licensed to assemble and store explosives for its 70 mm missiles.
Alen Kevrin stressed that the company “concerned about these events “. Moreover, he said, the increase in the number of drones occurs against the background of the company’s desire double production facilities for the manufacture of uncontrollable and managed FZ275 missilesto reach release volumes up to 70 thousand units over the next few years.
He also stressed that since the invasion of drones in Poland, Thales received dozens of requests for its missiles. It should be noted that they support NATO standards, which allows them to be used in existing weapons systems.
The director also stated that Thales Belgium already has installed drones detection systems at their facilities. In addition, the company can use jackets to suppress the UAV signal, but this is not done, because ”We are forbidden – from a legal point of view “, He noticed Alen Kevrin. One of the reasons for the fears is that the dropped drone can harm or injure people.
Allen Kevrin believes that the Belgium Government should clearly identify the right actions for such cases, in particular, formulate where police duties end and the responsibilities of companies begin.
According to Politico, missiles made at the factory Évegnée fort and in Ersstal, can be used against drones, with a laser version aimed at larger drones that fly at high altitude. This is, for example, Russian “Shahda”.
Recall that these missiles have a warhead FZ123, they are already used in Ukraine. According to Thales Belgium, the director of Thales Belgium Thomas Kolly, the demand of Kiev exceeds what the company can produce.
