NATO Aligned Port Visit Sparks Unusual Drone Incident
A suspected Russian drone was detected approaching the French Navy’s aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle while it was docked in Malmö, Sweden. The Swedish Armed Forces launched countermeasures against the drone, which reportedly took off from a nearby Russian vessel. The incident, if confirmed, would be an unusually direct attempt to probe security around a high-profile NATO-aligned port visit. The Charles de Gaulle is currently in Malmö as part of a planned visit connected to NATO exercise activity, according to AeroTime.
