In a special episode of Postimees' video podcast "What Will Become of Us?", Hannes Kont, the head of crisis readiness at Elering, discusses the emerging threats posed by drones amid hybrid warfare in Europe. Kont emphasizes the urgency of addressing these threats as he points out that, currently, it is unclear which Estonian authority is responsible for managing drone defenses. He warns that it is only a matter of time before combined drone attacks on infrastructure are carried out in Europe.

Kont highlights a troubling trend where individuals can easily access the internet to print plans for assembling drones and potentially attach explosives, transforming them into weapons. This situation presents a significant challenge, with a widening gap between offensive and defensive capabilities in drone warfare. He calls for immediate attention to the issue, stressing the need for effective leadership and strategy to tackle the rising dangers of drone attacks.

As hybrid warfare techniques escalate across the continent, Estonia must bolster its defenses to counter these evolving threats. The episode raises critical awareness about the security of national infrastructure and the necessity for coordinated efforts to ensure public safety. As discussions of drone-related risks intensify, it becomes essential for authorities to establish a clear command structure to address these emerging challenges effectively.
