Günther: Bundeswehr also plays a role in drone defense - Schleswig-Holstein Calls for Drone Defense Mission, Constitutional Changes
Schleswig-Holstein's Minister President Daniel Günther (CDU) has expressed concern over the rising number of unmanned aerial vehicle sightings in Germany, deeming the situation serious enough to warrant constitutional changes for drone defense. He has called for Bundeswehr support and plans to initiate the first drone defense mission in Germany by 2025.
The state of Schleswig-Holstein has been proactive in preparing for potential threat situations involving unmanned aerial vehicles. It has acquired specialized equipment to defend against such threats.
Minister President Günther's call for action comes amidst several high-profile incidents. Recently, drone sightings have caused significant disruptions to flight operations at Munich Airport and chaos in Denmark. Authorities suspect that unmanned aerial vehicles may have flown over critical infrastructure in Germany and Schleswig-Holstein, raising concerns about potential security breaches.
With the first drone defense mission of the Bundeswehr in Germany scheduled for 2025, Schleswig-Holstein is taking a proactive stance in addressing the growing threat of unmanned aerial vehicles. Minister President Günther's push for constitutional changes and Bundeswehr support underscores the seriousness of the situation and the need for robust defense measures.
