The German Chancellor Friedrich Merz suspects that Russia was behind the drones that caused nuisance last week in the air traffic to and from Munich. “It’s a serious threat to our safety.”
Merz entered an interview on the German television channel Ard on the drones on Sunday evening. “Our suspicion is that Russia is behind most of these drone flights.” But other scenarios do not fully exclude the German government. Merz takes into account that hobby pilots are responsible for a few drone flights that caused nuisance.
That difference makes little difference to the danger, Merz believes. In both cases, the nuisance at airports is a “serious threat” of aircraft safety, the Chancellor said.
It is the first time that Merz explicitly points to Russia after the air traffic in Munich stopped temporarily due to reports of drones. Fights had to be diverted both Thursday evening and in the night from Friday to Saturday.
On Thursday evening, authorities drones took over, it was reported. A day later there were indications that drones had been seen. Whether they actually flew there has not yet been confirmed.
