They tried to spy on Ukrainian military training in Germany

Who is behind the likely surveillance of the Ukrainian military, the German Ministry of Defense did not say, but Russia is not officially suspected.

Unknown individuals apparently tried to spy on the Bundeswehr training ground Wildflecken with drones on the night of September 30-October 1, where the Ukrainian military is trained in Dingo armored vehicles, Business Insider reports.

The German Ministry of Defense confirmed that a police operation was carried out after the discovery of drones in the immediate vicinity of a military training ground on the border between Bavaria and Hesse, and that the investigation is ongoing.

Business Insider has learned from security sources that there are at least ten drones near the training site. At the same time, it is argued that “there is no danger to the public at any time.”

Who is behind the likely surveillance of the Ukrainian military, the ministry did not say, but it is not officially suspected that Russia may be behind it.

Remember that this is not the first case. At the end of August, it became known that the Russian special services had created a network of agents in European countries, in particular Germany, where they collected information about weapons that were being prepared for delivery to Ukraine and the training of the Ukrainian military.

After the United States and Germany announced in the spring that Ukrainian soldiers would be trained in Western weapons such as the Panzerhaubitze 2000, German authorities spotted suspicious vehicles in front of military installations in Grafenwöhr and Idar-Oberstein .

Recall that the US Department of Defense plans to create a new command to help Ukraine. The Pentagon has decided to improve the training and equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
