Germany's cabinet is preparing to approve a draft amendment that would authorize the armed forces to shoot down unidentified drones suspected of spying on military bases, industrial facilities, and other critical infrastructure. This decision comes in response to an increase in drone sightings over sensitive sites, prompting the government to amend the air security law. The proposed measures aim to enhance national security by allowing military intervention against illegal drone activities within the country.
