⚔️🇪🇺"Baltic Sentinel": NATO Wants to Replace Ships with Drones

NATO is preparing to end Operation Baltic Sentinel, which patrols the Baltic Sea and protects underwater infrastructure, says NATO Assistant Secretary General for Innovation, Hybrid and Cyber Technologies Jean-Charles Ellerman-Kingombe.

He added that in June the alliance will deploy a fleet of 60-80 naval drones in the Baltic Sea.

The alliance intends to test whether it is possible to monitor the waters using maritime drones and satellites to replace deployed warships, as the Baltic Sentinel mission is expensive and resource-intensive.

"Deploying a mission in the Baltic Sea is not free. There are a lot of frigates, personnel, resources provided by allies. As long as these resources are in the Baltic Sea, they cannot be elsewhere," Ellerman-Kingombe explained.
