The German cabinet has approved a law that allows the police to neutralize unauthorized drones that enter the airspace, including by shooting them down.

The new law, approved by the German cabinet and awaiting parliamentary approval, grants the police the right to shoot down drones that violate airspace, including in cases of threat. The police can use techniques such as lasers or jamming to stop the drones. This measure comes after major disruptions in air traffic, including diverted flights at Munich airport, and aligns with other countries that have adopted similar measures.
