The interference did not remain effective
According to a report from the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”, the Husum Air Force Base near the North Sea was “six security losses” with professional drones of unknown origin between January 9 and 29. “It is being investigated on suspicion of espionage,” the newspaper wrote on Sunday, referring to the German Ministry of Defense, which is classified as a classified issue.

Change in the law: Bundeswehr can shoot drones
