Hybrider Angriff: Nach Drohnenvorfall: Neuer Wachposten am Flughafen
Nach dem Fund einer Sprengstoff-Drohne am Flughafen Leipzig/Halle rüstet die Polizei auf: Ein neues Radarsystem soll Drohnen auf größere Distanz erkennen.
In the aftermath of a bomb-laden drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport, police have established a new post equipped with special radar technology. The equipment was installed at the visitor platform of the old tower, according to a dpa photographer. The Bundespolizei spokesperson declined to provide further details for tactical reasons.
The "Tag24" news portal reported that this is an EchoShield radar system capable of detecting and tracking drones over long distances. A similar incident occurred a few days ago involving Ukrainian cargo planes, where a bomb-laden drone was discovered and brought down by a worker. Additionally, a plane collided with an unknown smaller object, possibly another drone.
The Federal Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating the suspected attempt to incite a bomb explosion and dangerous interference in air traffic.
