Learning from the front line: Estonian defence sector bets on cheap, smart and flexible military drone systems

Estonia, the Russia-bordering NATO member, has a relatively small army — but as one of the world's digital leaders, it is looking to make up for that with technology.Its defence industry is now building a wide range of cutting-edge military equipment, battle-tested in Ukraine and ready to scale up: low-cost, jamming-resistant drones, portable launch systems and sensors that spot threats in the sky.Euronews Next was invited to an undisclosed location near Tallinn to see a demonstration of these Estonian-made systems.KrattWorks showed how a single operator can now control a swarm of drones, each capable of carrying deadly explosives, at the same time.
