The commander of the Latvian army called Russia's advantages over NATO

Russia's military superiority over NATO lies in its ability to quickly and massively produce drones. This was announced on June 4 by the commander of the Latvian Armed Forces, General Kaspars Pudans, in an interview with the Financial Times (FT) newspaper.

"Russia has gained an advantage in conducting military operations using drones over NATO countries. <...> Moscow's advantage is <...>..> the ability to produce drones on a large scale and quickly adapt them to the conditions of combat operations," the newspaper quoted him as saying.

Pudance also noted that the alliance is facing difficulties in increasing defense spending, deploying new forces on the eastern flank, and developing an industrial base.
