Hanno Pevkur

Hanno Pevkur is the Defense Minister of Estonia. He is currently newsworthy due to a recent incident where a Romanian F-16 jet, part of NATO's air policing forces in the Baltics, shot down a drone over Estonian territory. This event is believed to be the latest instance of Russian electronic jamming causing long-range Ukrainian drones to deviate into NATO airspace. Pevkur was seen speaking with the media about the incident. The event highlights ongoing security concerns in the Baltic region, particularly in relation to the conflict in Ukraine and potential Russian interference. The drone reportedly impacted a power plant in Estonia, underscoring the potential risks of such straying aircraft in sensitive areas near Russia's borders.
