After the discovery of drones with explosives at Leipzig airport, politicians demand better defense systems and discuss the use of the Bundeswehr in Germany.
In the future, the Federal Police will provide more protection against drone attacks at German airports. 300 special forces will be deployed at eight locations throughout Germany. More technology for defense is also planned.[more]]>
The Federal Government has rejected demands for an extended jurisdiction of the Bundeswehr for the defence of drones at airports. "Too much area, too much space, too much kilometers, which the Bundeswehr would then have to protect," said a spokesman of the Ministry of Defence in Berlin on Monday. This is only possible in conjunction. First, the operators of the airports and the authorities responsible for internal security are in demand.
The Prime Minister of Schleswig-Holstein, Günther, has spoken out in favour of using the Bundeswehr to secure German airports against drones. Günther said in Deutschlandfunk that it made it easier to ward off drones if the Bundeswehr had more responsibilities. In the case of approaching drones, it is difficult to distinguish whether it is an internal or external threat.
