Summary

German authorities are investigating the sighting of 10 unidentified drones over Manching Air Base in Bavaria, suspecting potential Russian espionage linked to the Ukraine war.

The base is used for testing the airworthiness of military aircraft. Similar drone activity was reported in December at Manching, nearby Neuburg an der Donau, and Ramstein Air Base.

Officials believe the drones are attempting to photograph military installations.

The Munich Public Prosecutor General’s Office is leading the investigation, with concerns about growing security risks at critical defense sites.
