Florian Seibel: "We are able to fend off such Geran drones"
Quantum Systems is building several tens of thousands of interceptor drones for Ukraine. So that Germany is also better protected, company boss Seibel has a clear demand for politicians.
German company Quantum Systems has developed an interceptor drone with Ukrainian firm WIY that can shoot down Russia's latest "Geran" drone variants. The German government will finance the production of these drones in Ukraine. Quantum Systems' CEO, Florian Seibel, is calling on the German government to have more confidence in start-ups like his company for military procurement.
The deal comes after German Chancellor Friedrich Merz visited Ukraine over the weekend and follows Russia's increased use of drones against Ukraine.
