Poland and Estonia have joined forces to manufacture 10,000 Mark-1 anti-drone missiles—an affordable, rapid-production system aimed at countering Russian drones and forming the backbone of a proposed NATO “drone wall” along the eastern frontier.
Lithuania

Czech Republic
Czechia has joined a growing list of European nations reporting mysterious drone activity near sensitive sites. The Czech Armed Forces confirmed sightings of unidentified drones close to strategic and military facilities, though details remain classified.
Latvia
Latvia has signed a €275 million ($321 million) agreement with German defense giant Rheinmetall to establish a state-of-the-art ammunition manufacturing plant on Latvian soil.
