Germany launches technology center for drones
The new center aims to ensure the safe use of drones and neutralize hostile threats, according to the government.
Germany has inaugurated a new technology center dedicated to the safe use of drones and the detection and neutralization of hostile devices. The ceremony took place on Tuesday and was justified by the government due to the hybrid threats facing the country.
Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt stated that Germany is subject to daily hybrid attacks, emphasizing that the country's strategic nature makes it an important target, being described as the "central piece" of the European Union.
Dobrindt also mentioned that there are covert operations by foreign powers aimed at destabilizing the nation, highlighting the need for a center capable of addressing such threats.
The technology center has been designed to ensure the safe use of drones in various circumstances, as well as to enhance response capabilities to external threats, according to the government's explanation.
This initiative represents a significant step in Germany's national security strategy, reflecting current concerns regarding security and surveillance in the context of international tensions.
