Germany Probes Russian Drone Flights Over Key Sites in Schleswig-Holstein
Aug 22, 2024, 08:25 PM
Germany has heightened security at its military barracks and bases following multiple break-ins and reports of unidentified drones flying over critical infrastructure in Schleswig-Holstein. German prosecutors have launched an investigation into these drone flights, which are suspected to be linked to Russian agents operating from civilian boats in the North Sea. The drones, including military-grade UAVs and Orlan-10 Drones, have been spotted over key sites such as the ChemCoast Park Brunsbüttel and a nuclear power plant. Companies like Covestro and Holcim are assisting German authorities in the investigation, while the German military provides radar data to support the probe. Concerns have been raised about European and German air defence being unprepared to deal with such drone activities, which are considered part of a Russian hybrid war strategy.
