Germany launches drone shield after Leipzig airport incident

Germany is launching a drone defense package following a failed drone attack in Leipzig attributed to Russia. The plan includes expanding police mobile drone defenses and allowing critical infrastructure companies to neutralize drones themselves. The measures also establish a cyberattack protection system with sensors to detect and stop hacker attacks. This follows an August incident where an explosive-laden drone was found at Leipzig airport near a Ukrainian cargo plane. The German government recently blamed Russia for the incident, which had triggered strong reactions. The new package aims to protect critical infrastructure and digital defenses against similar future threats.
