Frédéric Vansina, the head of the Belgian Army General Staff, announced that the defense program against drones is being implemented at an accelerated pace, with a detailed plan that is set to be presented to the government. Currently, Belgium's resources for combating unidentified drones are limited, including detection systems and jamming devices. Vansina stated that the orders are clear: drones will be shot down if they fly over military bases, but this will only be done under safe conditions to avoid collateral damage. Recently, drones have been observed above the Kleine Brogel military base, where it is suspected that American nuclear weapons are stored.
