Repeated drone occurrence close to major German base where Ukrainian troops trained.
A suspected espionage drone flew over a Bundeswehr facility in northern Germany used for training Ukrainian troops on Patriot systems. German military officials considered the drone’s capabilities and behaviour unusual enough to raise concerns about possible Russian reconnaissance. The incident took place amid broader concerns over Russian intelligence activity targeting German military infrastructure, although no Russian involvement was conclusively established.
