Following the discovery of an explosive drone at Leipzig/Halle Airport, Germany is expanding its Federal Police's drone defense unit. Initially planned for 130 personnel, the unit will now consist of 300 special forces stationed at eight locations nationwide. The unit will use AI-supported jamming systems and automatic interception drones to detect and intercept unmanned aerial vehicles. This expansion comes in response to increased threats, particularly from Russia.
