Belgium Orders Military to Shoot Down Drones Over Bases
The Belgian military has been ordered to shoot down any unidentified drones flying over its military bases after three consecutive nights of airspace violations, according to Chief of Defense Frederik Vansina.
The incidents occurred over the Kleine-Brogel air base, a key NATO base hosting nuclear-capable F-16s and slated to receive F-35s from 2027. The drones, described as large high-altitude aircraft, repeatedly breached restricted airspace over the base.
The incidents have added pressure on Belgium’s fragile five-party coalition government, which is already locked in tense budget talks, including over defense spending.
