Belgian defence minister Theo Francken (Flemish nationalist N-VA) announced the arrival of the French unit during his visit to the Pampa Range military site in Houthalen-Helchteren, Limburg.

The German units are also said to have already arrived in the country. Francken has called on all neighbouring countries for help in combating drones.
