Des chasseurs fran\u00e7ais de l\u2019OTAN stationn\u00e9s dans les pays baltes ont abattu un drone en Lettonie, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 lundi la ministre lettone des Affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res, Baiba Braze.<\/p>\n
\u00abMerci \u00e0 nos alli\u00e9s fran\u00e7ais d\u2019avoir abattu le drone qui a p\u00e9n\u00e9tr\u00e9 dans l\u2019espace a\u00e9rien letton!\u00bb, a\u2011t\u2011elle \u00e9crit sur X.<\/p>\n
L\u2019arm\u00e9e lettone a indiqu\u00e9 dans un communiqu\u00e9 qu\u2019\u00abun a\u00e9ronef sans pilote \u00e9tranger avait p\u00e9n\u00e9tr\u00e9 dans l\u2019espace a\u00e9rien letton \u00e0 la suite de la guerre \u00e9lectronique russe\u00bb, sans r\u00e9v\u00e9ler l\u2019origine du drone.<\/p>\n
Les deux avions fran\u00e7ais \u00abont d\u00e9coll\u00e9 de la base a\u00e9rienne de Siauliai\u00bb, dans le nord de la Lituanie, avant d\u2019abattre le drone vers 10h (heure locale), a indiqu\u00e9 pour sa part Gintautas Ciunis, porte-parole de l\u2019arm\u00e9e lituanienne.<\/p>\n
Le 19 mai, un chasseur de l\u2019OTAN avait abattu dans l\u2019espace a\u00e9rien de l\u2019Estonie un drone ukrainien, premi\u00e8re interception d\u2019un drone \u00e9tranger dans le ciel d\u2019un \u00c9tat balte par la police de l\u2019air de l\u2019OTAN depuis l\u2019invasion \u00e0 grande \u00e9chelle de l\u2019Ukraine par la Russie en 2022.<\/p>\n
Les \u00c9tats baltes, ex-r\u00e9publiques sovi\u00e9tiques partageant une longue fronti\u00e8re avec la Russie, enregistrent depuis plusieurs semaines un nombre croissant d\u2019intrusions et de chutes de drones sur leurs territoires.<\/p>\n
Selon les Europ\u00e9ens, la Russie fait d\u00e9vier d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9ment de leur trajectoire des drones ukrainiens destin\u00e9s \u00e0 frapper des installations industrielles et des terminaux p\u00e9troliers dans la r\u00e9gion de Saint-P\u00e9tersbourg, situ\u00e9e sur le golfe de Finlande.<\/p>\n
Ces incidents ont mis au jour les carences des d\u00e9fenses a\u00e9riennes des pays baltes, impuissantes \u00e0 neutraliser un drone errant avant sa chute sur leur territoire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Des chasseurs fran\u00e7ais de l\u2019OTAN stationn\u00e9s dans les pays baltes ont abattu un drone en Lettonie, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":724,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[271,272,273,274,275,250,276,19,277,279,278,280,70,281,282,283,284,285,286,287,288,293,290,289,291,292,124],"class_list":["post-723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-actualites","tag-aeroplane","tag-airlines","tag-airplane","tag-airplanes","tag-airport","tag-aviation","tag-business-news","tag-defense","tag-e-u","tag-emea","tag-eu","tag-euro-members","tag-europe","tag-european","tag-government","tag-government-news","tag-greece","tag-greek","tag-industries","tag-jet","tag-jets","tag-military-actions","tag-nato","tag-north-atlantic-treaty-organisation","tag-plane","tag-transportation-and-logistics","tag-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/otan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/otan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/otan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/otan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/otan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=723"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/otan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/otan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/otan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/otan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/otan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
