Germany's New Drone Defense: Combating Hybrid Warfare

Germanys military is bolstering its response to hybrid attacks, a new form of warfare involving cyberattacks, sabotage, and drone incidents. A recent example is the sabotage of a German naval ship, the Emden, with metal shavings. Security experts have noticed a rise in cyberattacks, sanction bypassing, and arson incidents across Europe, often difficult to attribute due to the gray area of perpetrators. Russia is suspected of using low-level agents, often young immigrants with criminal backgrounds, for these operations. In response, Germanys National Criminal Police Office has expanded its cyberattack capabilities, and the Bundeswehr is now authorized to shoot down drones within Germany.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
