Russian drone approaches French aircraft carrier in Malmö, Sweden, media reports

According to Ukrinform, this was reported by Le Monde with reference to SVT, a Swedish public broadcaster.

According to the TV channel, the aircraft took off from a Russian ship nearby. The drone was detected by the Swedish military, who used electronic jamming measures. After that, the drone left the area, and it is currently impossible to determine whether it returned to the Russian ship or crashed into the sea.

The flagship of the French fleet, the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, and its escort ships entered the Swedish port of Malmö for the first time on Wednesday to take part in NATO exercises. In particular, it is to join the Alliance's Baltic Sentry mission in the Baltic Sea.

As reported, given Ukraine's experience in combating Russian drones, Europe is asking Kyiv for help in building its own system to counter enemy drones amid the latest provocations by the Russian Federation in EU airspace.
