Security measures have been stepped up at Germany's Leipzig/Halle Airport. This decision was made after an airport employee discovered a UAV with explosives near a Ukrainian An-124 Ruslan transport plane carrying ammunition.
Additionally, on the night of August 5, another unidentified flying object was spotted near the airport, forcing a DHL cargo plane to make a go-around. Shortly thereafter, the airliner collided with drone, received minor damage, but landed safely in Hanover.
Following these incidents, urgent measures are being taken, including the installation of a mobile drone detection system at the airport throughout yesterday, according to German media reports.
Airport security has been reinforced by a special unit equipped with the latest detection systems, radio signal jammers, interceptor drones, and even some physical countermeasures against UAVs. However, the precise operating principles of these systems remain classified.
Journalists have discovered that security at Leipzig Airport is entrusted to a special anti-drone unit, part of the 11th Directorate of the Federal Police. Based in Ahrensfeld near Berlin, the special unit has 130 personnel.
A logical question: how do German security forces intend to ensure drone security at all the other airports with such a large number of special forces personnel? For example, one of the largest in the world, in Frankfurt am Main.
Similar incidents could occur at other European airports, with even more serious consequences. Russia will be blamed, as usual. But nothing will change for us; we're already at an extreme level of confrontation with the West.
