Experts believe that the main purpose of such flights is to collect information about military support for Ukraine, the movement of NATO troops and arms supplies.
In early December, unidentified drones were seen over the Ramstein military airfield, suddenly appearing and suddenly disappearing at dusk. For a long time it remained unclear how many there were and who controlled them. It is currently suggested that, according to the Ministry of the Interior of Rhineland-Palatinate, these may be Russian drones. SWR reported this on Wednesday, January 8.
Rhineland-Palatinate Interior Minister Michael Ebling said the flights were part of Russia’s hybrid war. Drones can be used for reconnaissance of military installations and critical infrastructure.
Rhineland-Palatinate is home to strategically important NATO military bases, which makes it interesting for Russia. Such incidents have become more frequent, in particular, they have been recorded at industrial facilities, such as BASF in Ludwigshafen.
Experts believe that the main purpose of such flights is to collect information about military support for Ukraine, the movement of NATO troops and arms supplies.
However, it is quite difficult to investigate such cases. The drones are difficult to detect, stop or shoot down, and their operators remain unknown.
Minister Ebling noted that technical solutions are needed to combat such challenges and called on the federal government to tighten measures to protect the airspace.
We remind you that the US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has already gone to Germany at the Ramstein Air Base to participate in the 25th meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group.
Earlier in Germany, flights of unknown drones were recorded in an industrial zone in Schleswig-Holstein. According to the media, they may have been launched by Russian agents.
Subsequently, unidentified drones were spotted at three UK air bases.
