According to a report by the German newspaper "Daily" on January 8, the German ** base is often attacked by unknown drones.

According to the **, drones appear in the vicinity of military facilities on a weekly basis. The German side has been aware of this problem for more than a year. In October 2022, a German general instructed the gendarmes to urgently undergo training on anti-drone installations. On November 15, 2023, the Bundeswehr established a drone task force. The head was Brigadier General Wolfgang Jordan of the Army Command.

* The newspaper notes that drones are most often seen over the training grounds of Ukrainian soldiers. Marcus Faber, a member of the Free Democratic Party of Germany and a member of the German Defense Council, said: "Drones are often seen over the Klitz military training ground, where the Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces) trains Ukrainians in the use of Leopard 1s (tanks)".

Fabel and the German side believe that Russia may be behind the appearance of drones, although this has not been confirmed.
