An Egyptian man was arrested for burning down Czech Republic drone factory.
On March 25, 2026, an Egyptian man Youssef Morsi, a pro-palestinian activist, was arrested for setting fire to a workshop linked to Archer’s Ukrainian subsidiary and the Czech arms holding LPP Holding. Among those detained are citizens of the Czech Republic and the United States. They face up to 20 years in prison on terrorism-related charges. The company’s representatives state that the attack can be connected to Russia, since the company relocated to Pardubice after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Czech intelligence also probes a Russian false-flag operation, since this is not the first time Ukrainian equipment has been targeted on NATO soil under pro-palestinian banner.
