Wind reconstruction for what just crossed the border.
AirVeto reconstructs where airborne objects drifted from, using Open-Meteo wind data at the altitude and time of each crossing. It is built for border agencies: probable release-zone estimates for balloon incursions, and a record of atmospheric conditions during drone interdictions.
Recent cross-border balloon and aircraft incidents.
Recent reported incidents - the event location, the wind at the time where reconstructed, and links to primary sources. Each entry is its own page, with a deep link to the event location on the live map.
Four airspace entries off Sulina, Romania, 14-15 Oct 2026
Romania's defence ministry logged four entries into national airspace off Sulina between the morning of October 14 and 01:34 on October 15, 2026; Ukrainian air defence shot down two targets.
Two drones at Aduti拧kis and 艩iulgiai, October 9-11, 2026
VSAT border guards took control of two cigarette-carrying drones from Belarus on the nights of October 9 and 10, 2026, and say they have landed 63 drones this year.
Lithuania balloon cargos, Oct 8 - nine, 55,490 packs
Border guards and police intercepted nine balloon-borne cigarette cargoes from Belarus in four Lithuanian districts overnight and on the morning of October 8, 2026.Release-zone estimation for balloon incursions.
Wind-drift balloons travel on the ambient wind from the release point to the recovery or crossing point. AirVeto reconstructs the wind field at the altitude the balloon rode and the time it crossed the boundary - providing a probable release-zone estimate on the other side of the border.
The EU eastern border archive covers over 100 documented airspace incidents, including balloon incursions, across Lithuania-Belarus, Poland-Belarus, Latvia-Russia, Estonia-Russia, Finland, Moldova, and Romania's Black Sea frontier. Each incident includes wind field data at the event altitude and time window. Key segments:
- Poland-Belarus border - balloon and drone incursion archive
- Vilnius Airport - balloon closure incident log
- Suwa艂ki Gap - hub and incident coverage
- NATO eastern flank - broader airspace incident context
- 50+
- Airspace incidents on EU eastern border
- 8
- Altitude layers for crossing reconstruction
- 1h
- Open-Meteo wind data update cadence
Cross-incident pattern analysis.
AirVeto maintains an archive of over 50 documented airspace incidents on the EU eastern border. Agencies can compare wind conditions across multiple events to identify recurring release points, seasonal patterns, or consistent methods. When the wind at crossing point X on three separate dates all traced back to the same release path, the pattern is in the data.
For drone events, wind reconstruction does not reconstruct the origin route - powered autonomous drones navigate independently of wind. AirVeto provides the atmospheric conditions at the interdiction point and altitude, supporting the investigation record without overclaiming.
Custom sensor overlay for border posts.
Border monitoring teams running their own sensor networks - radar stations, ground observation posts, drone detection hardware - can connect those feeds to AirVeto via the custom data API. Any HTTPS endpoint returning the standard JSON schema overlays as real-time points on the wind map. Detection events, unit positions, and sensor readings appear alongside the wind reconstruction in one view.
Custom data overlay is a Companies plan feature. See the technical documentation for the API schema and CORS requirements.
Team accounts for shift operations.
Companies plan users get a shared organisation account. Multiple operators or shift personnel access the same AirVeto account - useful for 24-hour border monitoring posts where different people need the same operational picture across a shift cycle. Invoice billing is available for public-sector procurement.

Tell it what you need. It plans the map
Europe's AI airspace analyst reads the wind at 8 heights, aircraft, drone zones and every reconstructed incursion. It places your sensors and interceptor sites on the map and briefs you; you decide.
