Verteidigung: Europa nicht gut vorbereitet – Dobrindt weitet Drohenabwehr aus
Experten halten eine konzertierte russische Drohnen-Kampagne gegen Europa für sehr wahrscheinlich. Bundesinnenminister Dobrindt will jetzt die Drohnenabwehr erweitern.
A study by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), involving the CSU-affiliated Hanns-Seidel Foundation, concludes that Europe is unprepared to combat Russian drone attacks. European nations are not even able to clearly attribute such incidents to Russia, according to the IISS report. However, it is "very likely" that Russia has initiated a campaign against Europe.
Following a suspected explosives drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) reportedly intends to expand Germany's drone defense, according to a media report. The Joint Drone Defense Center (GDAZ) of the federal government and the states will significantly increase personnel, with 300 highly-specialized response teams available nationwide instead of the current 150.
The network of operational bases will be doubled from four to eight strategic locations. While the federal Ministry of the Interior has not yet issued a statement on the report, the "Bild" newspaper reported this information based on government circles.
