The "crazy game" of drones, which has been going on for a long time, mainly around the Baltic countries, but which became more visible in the case of Poland, whose airspace was violated by unmanned aircraft on September 10, continues without interruption, giving the impression of a hybrid war.
On the night between Friday and Saturday, residents of the Swedish city of Karlskrona spotted drones over the archipelago near the country's main naval base. Attempts to shoot them down failed.
Karlskrona is the headquarters of the Swedish Navy, which monitors the Baltic Sea. The appearance of drones near such a strategic location is causing concern, as it could be reconnaissance or testing of Sweden's defense systems.
In light of repeated incidents involving interference in GPS systems, interceptions of fighter jets, or violations using drones, the question that reasonably arises is whether we are facing a hybrid war in Europe.
The EU is planning to build a defensive wall against drones on its eastern border to protect against invasions.
Especially for this parameter, Newsbomb had noticed a few days ago that the Europeans discovered the problem through a twist, which has plagued Greece with Turkish violations for many years.
"The recent publication of incidents of Russian aircraft and drone flights over Eastern European countries and reports of electronic jamming of Western government aircraft along with a series of hybrid actions certainly cause a smile, more or less restrained, in the Greek reader.
The reason is clear as Turkish violations and all kinds of harassment for decades were met with cold indifference by some allied countries, the same countries that are currently facing actions and provocations attributed to Russia," Ippokrates Daskalakis initially reports on Newsbomb.
According to the experienced analyst, "these events can reasonably be characterized as part of a broader plan of hybrid actions by Moscow."
He then explains the characteristics of a hybrid action and its objectives.
“A key characteristic of a hybrid action is that it does not involve 'pure' military actions against the target, while sometimes the perpetrator or his intentions cannot be demonstrated.
The main goal of these recent actions appears to be to weaken the will of the peoples of the region to oppose Russian expansionist plans and in particular their support for Ukraine.
In fact, through this popular stance, a corresponding weakening of their governments' will to resist and the choice of appeasing policies are required.
At the same time, a record and assessment of the response methods (political and military) of the affected states and mechanisms (NATO, EU) is made," says Daskalakis.
"These actions do not mean that a new Russian invasion of Eastern European countries is imminent, as the Russian war machine is entangled and exhausted in a three-year conflict with no prospects for an immediate victorious outcome.
These Russian actions, at least those that can be undoubtedly attributed to Moscow, constitute a means of psychological pressure and intimidation within the framework of a traditional strategy implemented in similar cases.
Nor can we predict with certainty that a similar strategy of intimidation will be successful, as it may bring about the opposite results of uniting peoples and states.
"This strategy, in this specific case, attempts to combine the element of intimidation with the economic difficulties and energy crisis that have occurred in Western societies as a result (and) of the Russian invasion of Ukraine," he characteristically replied.
