Today: Drone incident: Germany's defense needs catching up to do
The explosive drone at Leipzig/Halle Airport is making attack scenarios a reality. How well are Germany's infrastructure and economy prepared for this?
Bundesinnenminister Alexander Dobrindt described a drone incident at Leipzig Airport as a "hybrid attack scenario" and a "very serious security incident" following the discovery of a bomb-equipped drone. Dobrindt made these remarks at a press conference on Wednesday evening. Handelsblatt's Hauptstadt correspondent Frank Specht discussed the possibility of a connection to Russia and how Germany prepares for such attacks in his podcast.
"We saw in Berlin how quickly the power supply can collapse if just one cable is cut, which is relatively open in the landscape," Specht stated.
