“Either in a non-lethal form—electromagnetic interference, so-called jamming—or in a lethal form—neutralization by kinetic force. The choice of response depends on the potential risk of collateral damage. The conditions for the deployment of Czech armed forces on national territory are defined by law,” Košvancová added.

Czech Interior Ministry spokesperson Hana Malá said authorities are working closely with foreign partners to boost resilience against such incidents.

“Czechia has an established airspace protection system, ensured by the Czech Army, which will respond appropriately depending on the threat. The Czech Police and Military Police are also authorized to intervene against drones, and their response will correspond to the type and nature of the threat,” she told Echo24.

Police Presidium spokesperson David Šen added that protecting Czech airspace remains “primarily the responsibility of the Czech Army,” which should be addressed for further information.

Earlier, it was reported that Czechia imposed new entry restrictions on Russian diplomats and holders of service passports, allowing access only to those officially accredited by the Czech government.
