The Bundeswehr will receive net-launching drones to protect barracks from enemy drones

"Net-launching drones are considered a proven defensive tool for protecting facilities," said the German Ministry of Defense. They are typically used in conjunction with other systems, such as jamming devices and radar systems. These drones capture enemy drones using a net. Unlike shooting them down, this method does not create hazards from flying debris, making it suitable for urban areas. The spokesperson did not disclose how many drones the Bundeswehr intends to purchase. For reasons of military and operational security, comments on specific amounts and quantities cannot be provided, she explained. Recently, the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) issued a stern warning about Russia's activities in Germany. Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that the country is preparing for large-scale hybrid attacks, including particularly serious ones, and will respond to them "quickly and very clearly." Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt plans to introduce a set of measures that will encompass protection against drones and sabotage at critical infrastructure facilities.
