Swedish military forces successfully neutralized a Russian drone that approached the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, which is docked in Malmö as part of NATO military exercises known as Orion-26.
On February 26, a drone launched from a nearby Russian vessel was detected by Swedish forces. The drone was reportedly moving towards the aircraft carrier when the military initiated a jamming operation. Following this action, the drone disappeared from the area.
The current status of the drone remains unclear; it is unknown whether it returned to the Russian ship or fell into the sea.
This incident is part of a broader pattern involving Russian drones, with previous sightings reported in Moldova and Turkey. Such occurrences have prompted discussions among European nations regarding potential responses to Russian hybrid tactics that infringe upon NATO airspace.
