Defense League is forming Estonia's own drone unit Kullisilm
Kaitseliit loob uue drooniüksuse nimega Kullisilm. Droonid on olulised kaitses ja õppustel.
The Defense League is creating a new drone unit named Kullisilm. Drones are important in defense and training.
The Defense League acquired many drones two years ago. They are used for training. Last year, the Defense League purchased new drones. These drones can carry explosives to targets.
Currently, a new drone unit is being created in Estonia. Its name is Kullisilm. This unit primarily deals with drones. Aivar Hanniotti is the drone coordinator of the Defense League. He says that drones are important.
There are several companies in Estonia that manufacture drones. For example, the company Quadix, located in Tartu, makes attack drones. These drones can carry payloads up to 15 kilometers. Another well-known company is Krattworks. They make various drones.
Drone control is complex. Estonia's nature and weather are diverse. Data processing is also difficult. Aivar Hanniotti says that compiling data is a major challenge.
Drones are important for both civilians and military personnel. The head of the Defense Forces' drones, Arbo Probal, says that drones are part of soldiers' training. They learn how to defend against drones.
During the spring exercise Siil, drones are used more than before. Drones help create a better picture of the battlefield. The Defense League is developing procedures on how to use the information obtained from drones.
