Belgium buys Latvian-made drone interceptors after string of incursions
BRUSSELS — Belgium has struck a deal to buy Latvian-made drone interceptors, the defence ministry said, after a series of incursions near Belgian airports, military bases, and a nuclear plant.The Belgian defence ministry said the defensive kamikaze drones will be acquired from Latvian company Origin Robotics as part of a €50 million anti-drone package.

Those incursions followed a string of unidentified drone flights near a military base in the city of Marche-en-Famenne, where US nuclear weapons...
