The German Interior Minister, Alexander Dobrindt, warned on Thursday that Berlin and Europe are already in a "race for armament" regarding drones, emphasizing the need for urgent defense measures.

Alexander Dobrindt stated that Germany and Europe are in an "arms race" due to the increasing threats posed by Russia, including through the use of drones. Germany has observed an increase in drone flights over critical infrastructure, without being able to identify the perpetrators. Dobrindt emphasized that Berlin will intensify investments in defense against drones by developing a new air security law. This situation is exacerbated by uncertainties related to recent incidents in countries such as Denmark and Poland, and Germany is preparing for military maneuvers in the context of escalating tensions at the borders of the Baltic states.
