A bombshell investigation by the Belgian programme Pano has cast doubt on the alleged Russian drone crisis of late 2025. The documentary reveals a lack of evidence for hostile incursions, despite Defence Minister Theo Francken's public claims, and exposes a 50m emergency procurement rollout marred by allegations of inflated prices and cronyism. From misidentified police helicopters to multi-million euro contracts awarded without public tenders, the fallout has left the Belgian government facing intense parliamentary scrutiny.
