Six suspicious drone flights were recorded over a secret German military base in Mechelnich, where Patriot air defense systems are repaired, prompting an investigation. Security staff reported six drone flights between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. last Friday; police witnessed at least one. The drone was likely a Fly-380 VTOL with a 3.8-meter wingspan and 400-kilometer range. Authorities suspect unauthorized filming of military facilities. Mechelnich hosts a 130-meter-deep German military logistics site with a "Patriot shipyard," likely unique in Europe. Military counterintelligence and a joint drone defense center are assisting.
