Defence: Unmanned Weapon Systems: Bundeswehr to Receive Drone Regiment
Is the German military making enough progress in introducing drones? The Defense Minister is now having a unit for unmanned systems set up in the army.
The German military, known as the Bundeswehr, is establishing a new drone regiment to enhance its capabilities in unmanned systems. The regiment, set to be operational by 2027, will consist of up to 600 personnel and have a range of up to 500 kilometers. It will focus on combining skills and increasing tempo, and will include capabilities for electromagnetic warfare and kamikaze drones, known as "loitering munition".
The new unit is expected to become part of the 10th Panzer Division, which includes the Panzerbrigade 45 stationed in Lithuania.
