On February 25th, the Swedish Armed Forces jammed a suspected Russian drone approaching the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle while it was docked in Malmö, Sweden, during NATO's LA FAYETTE 26 drills. The incident occurred in the Öresund Strait, where a Swedish Navy ship detected the drone and activated electronic countermeasures, disrupting its control systems and causing it to lose contact. Swedish Defence Minister Pål Jonson indicated the drone likely originated from a nearby Russian military vessel. The French military confirmed the jamming and stated it did not disrupt operations on board the carrier. The incident took place amid rising tensions between NATO and Russia, following increased Russian strikes over Ukraine and warnings from Vladimir Putin.
