Security warning: Russian drones threaten Lower Saxony!

The situation in Ukraine continues to come to a head after the Russian military has taken the village of Starny. This is strategically favorable northwest of Kurachowe on the banks of a reservoir. Several Ukrainian troops are now in a precarious situation, since the Russian attackers are increasingly falling in the back, which makes defense considerably more difficult. According to vienna.at , the Ukrainians kept the city of Kurachowe longer than initially expected, but the risk of being encircled grows. The Russian losses during the advance are high, but Russia continues to push and also threatens to surround Pokrowsk by the case of Nowopustynka. Furthermore, 53 Russian drones over Ukraine were used in one night, with 32 of them being shot down by the Ukrainian air defense.

drone sightings in Lower Saxony

drones that may come from Russia are spotted in Lower Saxony. These incidents call up worrying questions about security, such as ndr . Researcher Ulrike Franke warns of a considerable security hole in German airspace, since the monitoring and persecution of these drones is hardly possible. Due to inadequate measures, the drones can often not be intercepted or traced back. The dangers could range from harmless hobby pilots to serious attempts to spy, and the possibility of an armed drone attack on German territory cannot be ruled out.

Franke underlines the urgency to implement more modern systems for flight space monitoring. In view of several sightings on critical infrastructures, such as industrial plants in Stade and Wilhelmshaven, it is of the opinion that quick measures have to be taken to monitor airspace more and to fight drones effectively. A failure in this area could have fatal consequences.
