Summary

Germany’s government approved a proposal allowing the military to shoot down drones over critical infrastructure as a last resort.

The move responds to rising sightings of suspicious drones, particularly since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with concerns over espionage and sabotage.

Recent incidents include up to 10 drones spotted over Bavaria’s Manching air base, raising security fears.

Previously, the military could only force drones to land, redirect, or issue warnings.

    Read an article back when drones started to pop-up in Ukraine about the US developing someone to jam them/disable them.

    So who knows if it made it past their criteria and is out by now.
