Police installed a new radar post at Leipzig/Halle airport after an explosive-laden drone was found, boosting detection of approaching drones over greater distances. The EchoShield system, placed on the old tower’s visitor platform, can track drone flight paths. Days earlier, staff brought down a drone loaded with explosives and detonators near Ukrainian transport planes; a plane also hit an unidentified small object. Federal prosecutors are investigating suspected attempted explosive detonation and dangerous interference with air traffic. Federal police were unavailable for comment; local media identified the radar system.
