Recurring drone sighting near Schwesing Airport in Northern Germany.

German authorities investigated the appearance of an unidentified drone over the Schwesing military training area as a possible act of espionage. The facility was a strategically sensitive location because it hosted training for Ukrainian personnel operating the Patriot air-defence system supplied by Germany. German forces attempted to counter the drone but were unable to determine who was controlling it, leaving the suspected Russian connection unconfirmed.
