Germany admits its vulnerability to the “new level of danger” posed by bomb drones

The German Government considers that on Tuesday the most serious drone threat in the country's history occurred. “A new level of danger”, as it was defined on Wednesday by Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt. It is the first time that an unmanned device loaded with explosives has slipped into an airport, Leipzig's. The hundred or so drone threats reported in recent years in Germany, especially since the start of the Ukraine war and with increasing Russian pressure in Europe, did not pose the same danger. A near-miraculous situation averted catastrophe.
