💨 Abstract

Germany's cabinet is set to authorize the armed forces to shoot down illegal drones that have been spotted over critical infrastructure, following repeated incidents and heightened concerns of hybrid attacks from Russia post Ukraine invasion. The proposed amendment to the Aviation Security Act will allow local authorities to request military action, with the armed forces permitted to use force in case of imminent, serious accidents. The government aims to pass the amendment before the upcoming federal election on Feb.
