Germany must become leading military drone maker – minister


Germany should dedicate all its resources to becoming Europe’s leading drone power, Economy Minister Katherina Reiche has said, arguing that only Berlin can “decide” the future of the continent’s security. “Germany must become a leading location for the development and production of drones,” Reiche told dpa on Monday, citing the need to uphold the nation’s “air sovereignty,” protect “critical infrastructure,” and aid Ukraine. She also pointed to recent drone sightings in several European nations that were blamed on Russia and said that “the events of the last few days” made the need for Germany’s own drone army “unmistakably clear.”
