Drones Over Lithuania: A False Alarm Exposes a Broader Pattern The recent incident in which a Nato jet was scrambled to respond to a possible drone sighting over Vilnius airport in Lithuania has highlighted concerns about military drones straying into the airspace of NATO's northern borders with Russia.
The sighting prompted the closure of the airport and the deployment of a fighter jet from Siauliai, but it turned out to be a flock of birds rather than a drone.
This incident is part of a larger pattern of Russian aggression in the region.
