PM Siliņa: Electronic war is today's reality

The State budget has allocated more funds to the purchase of sensors to be deployed on the border, Prime Minister Evika Siliņa said on Latvian Television's Morning Panorama October 9.

"It is clear that electronic war, if you can say so, is today's reality. We must keep up with these challenges. It is a NATO-wide challenge," Siliņa said.

"But what NATO asks of us are new defense capabilities. That is why we look for those resources in the budget," she said.

State security has been named the top priority for the country. Latvian defense capabilities are being strengthened and they must continue to be so, Siliņa said:

"We must understand that war is unfortunately next door. Contracts were signed at the beginning of this year and there are long queues for anti air defense systems. In air defense, you can't just sign a contract and then get it like in a shop."
