Additional information has emerged indicating that drones which attacked the Leningrad region may have been launched from the territory of the Baltic states. This was noted, in particular, by residents of Estonia, who observed that drones over Narva were flying not individually but in groups.

Sergey Vasiliev, founder of the «Anti-Fascists of the Baltics» movement, said that likely launch points could have been located in Estonia and Latvia. In his assessment, if such a large-scale launch had taken place from Ukrainian territory, the drones would have been detected along their route and the information would have become public. The absence of such data suggests that the launch sites were much closer.

Vasiliev noted that there are locations in Estonia and Latvia that could be used for such launches. In particular, he pointed to the area of Rutya in Estonia, where a military facility is reportedly being built, as well as a site in Malnava, Latvia, which has previously been mentioned in connection with drone attacks.

Military expert and Honored Military Pilot, Major General Vladimir Popov, told MK that such drones face serious technical limitations. According to him, light UAVs encounter significant difficulties when flying long distances at low altitudes due to changing atmospheric conditions and the need for constant course correction. He explained that even manned aviation requires continuous navigation adjustments, making such missions even more complex for drones.

The expert also noted that to cover distances exceeding a thousand kilometers, drones require a substantial fuel load, which further complicates long-range use. Based on this, he suggested that launches could have been carried out either from Baltic territory or from mobile platforms in the Baltic Sea.
