US EditionOn NATO's eastern flank, bunkers and anti-drone nets set to protect power grids
Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia plan to spend €382 million on bunkers and anti-drone nets to protect critical power infrastructure from Russian drone threats, officials said.
- On September 29, 2025, Lithuania reinforced the Neris substation near the Belarusian border with concrete barriers designed to defend against drone attacks, helping to secure power supply to Vilnius.
- This action followed multiple Russian drone incursions, including drones shot down over Polish airspace on September 9-10, raising NATO eastern flank concerns.
- Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia jointly submitted a 382-million-euro grid security plan to the EU to build bunkers, use anti-drone nets, and stockpile vital components advised by Ukraine’s grid operator.
- Lithuania plans to allocate 150 million euros to enhance the security of its power grid, nearly doubling the amount initially proposed to the EU. CEO Rokas Masiulis expressed confidence that their initiatives will serve as a model for other countries.
- These measures aim to protect energy infrastructure seen as "particularly exposed", highlighting vulnerabilities from Ukraine's sustained attacks and strategic threats around the Suwalki Gap.
