BERLIN, Oct 8 — German federal police will be allowed to shoot down drones, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said Friday, following a recent string of sightings which Berlin has blamed on Russia.
Unveiling a draft law, Dobrindt said police would be able to use jamming devices or take “physical measures, that is to say, intercepting and shooting down drones”.
Germany was learning about modern drone defences from its allies Israel and Ukraine, he added.
He said that the federal police would also receive “an additional unit for development and research into drone defence”.
Germany, a major NATO backer of Ukraine in its fight against Russia, has reported multiple drone sightings this year over military bases, industrial sites and other critical infrastructure.
