Leipzig police installed an additional radar post at Leipzig/Halle airport after an explosive-laden drone was found near a Ukrainian aircraft this week. The EchoShield radar system was set up on the old control tower’s viewing platform; it detects approaching drones from long ranges and tracks their trajectories. Federal police could not be reached Saturday for further details. On August 5, an explosive-equipped drone was found near a Ukrainian Antonov aircraft, reportedly part of NATO airlift operations, at the airport.
