Florian Seibel: „Wir sind in der Lage, solche Geran-Drohnen abzuwehren“
Quantum Systems baut mehrere Zehntausend Abfangdrohnen für die Ukraine. Damit auch Deutschland besser geschützt wird, hat Unternehmenschef Seibel eine klare Forderung an die Politik.
German Quantum Systems, in collaboration with Ukrainian firm WIY, has developed a drone capable of intercepting Russia's newest "Geran" drones equipped with jet engines. With Ukraine lacking effective defense against these advanced aircraft, the German government is financing the series production in Ukraine. Quantum Systems' CEO, Florian Seibel, urges German politicians to show more courage in procuring equipment from startups like Quantum.
He believes Germany and Europe must create new industries to independently defend themselves from American protection and Chinese technology. Seibel is aware that "we are heading towards very uncomfortable times - militarily and economically" in Europe. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz recently visited Ukraine and secured a large contract for the production of drones capable of intercepting the effective Russian "Geran" drones.
This development poses a grim future for Ukraine as Russia continues to develop weapons systems like the "Geran" drones, which are becoming increasingly faster and more efficient at targeting civilian infrastructure and breaking the resolve of the Ukrainian population.
