Spying in sight: Discovered ten drones about military grounds in Manching!
In Manching, Bavaria, ten drones with cameras caused excitement over a military site on Sunday evening. These drones are no coincidence, but possibly part of a targeted espionage campaign that is related to the Ukraine War, as the State Criminal Police Office Bavaria (LKA) reported. The drones were spotted over the military technology department for aircraft and aircraft, where Airbus also maintains an important location and aircraft for the Air Force are tested. The LKA spokesman, Ludwig Waldinger, found that the obvious number of drones indicates that there is no harmless leisure pilot at work, but that professional spies are on the move that have the necessary technology and reach.
Repeated incidents and professional perpetrators
This was the fifth similar incident in Manching since December 16. A police helicopter that was used immediately could not track down the drone pilots, which indicates that the perpetrators may operate from a great distance. Similar drones have also been spotted at the Military Air Center in Neuburg, where the Tactical Air Force Squadron 74 is stationed and that takes over the safety monitoring of the southern German airspace Bild.de reported. The investigation into this was taken over by the Munich General Prosecutor's Office, which hopes for evidence of witnesses.
The situation is particularly explosive that the Bundeswehr is currently not authorized to shoot the drones, although there are corresponding technologies to disturb the radio of the drones. However, these technologies are often not very effective in military variants. In Berlin, a change in the Air Security Act is now being discussed, which in the future should enable the Bundeswehr to neutralize suspicious drones themselves, which has so far been only the responsibility of the police. The security at the military locations is on the brink, and the incidents are increasing at an alarming pace, as well as Today.at reported.
