Full story

Suspicious blimps have appeared near Narva, Estonia, a key border city on NATO’s eastern edge, raising concerns about Russian intentions. Estonian officials report these incidents have become frequent, occurring almost weekly.

One blimp, first spotted in June on the Russian side of the border, bore the letter “Z,” a symbol widely associated with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Estonian authorities believe the blimps are deliberately made visible as part of a broader pattern of harassment.

Narva, which sits across the Narva River from Russia, has experienced a sharp rise in border incidents in recent months. Estonian border forces have reported Russian guards removing border markers, Russian aircraft performing risky stunts, and attempts to smuggle weapons parts across the border.

The growing frequency of these events has unsettled residents of Narva, where the majority of the population speaks Russian. Some fear the blimps could signal larger ambitions from Moscow.

In 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin used the justification of “liberating” ethnic Russians to launch the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Estonia’s leadership has emphasized that Ukraine’s success is directly tied to the region’s security. The Estonian prime minister has warned that a Russian victory in Ukraine would pose a direct threat to Estonia and its neighbors.

Earlier this year, Russia further escalated tensions by removing 20 river buoys overnight, an action Estonian officials described as a deliberate provocation. Moscow has also tightened border controls, creating delays of up to 12 hours for pedestrians attempting to cross into Russia.

Amid the ongoing harassment, Estonia remains steadfast. NATO forces recently conducted major military exercises near the Russian border to test their readiness in a crisis. Estonian officials said the drills were meant to demonstrate the country’s preparedness and send a clear message to Moscow.
