The active phase of the "Baltic Trust 26" military exercise has ended at the Sēlija training ground, where Latvian and allied troops tested the latest drone and counter-drone technologies. The drills took place in conditions closely resembling a real combat environment.
The active phase of the "Baltic Trust 26" military exercise has concluded this week at the Sēlija training ground, where soldiers of the Latvian armed forces, together with allied units, tested modern technological solutions in conditions approximating a real combat environment.
What was tested during the exercise
Participants practically tested several of the latest military solutions, including unmanned aerial system technologies, counter-drone defense equipment, and electronic warfare tools. Testing such solutions in practice allows their usability to be assessed under real combat-like conditions rather than purely in theory or in standard range testing.
Context of the exercise
"Baltic Trust 26" is one of the military exercises taking place on Latvian territory, involving both local and allied forces. Such exercises serve both to assess troop readiness and to test the newest military technologies under conditions as close as possible to real operational settings. The conclusion of the active phase at the Sēlija training ground marks the completion of this stage of the exercise.
