Acidia has been put after the “invasions” of the alleged Russian drones in the heart of Europe the issue of “internal security” in its member states EUbeyond the issue of ‘external security’.
So before even the EU member states are able to form a “roadmap” (both economically and purely military) to protect their borders against the so -called Russian threat, they are running to form another “map” of interventions for the “security” of their own political infrastructure …
And if at the military level (which concerns the defense of the borders by the Armed Forces), Europeans seem to have been caught not enough prepared (at best), at the level of civil protection and internal “security” against possible hybrid attacks, they are probably at all, at least at all.
It is no coincidence that at the last meeting of NATO (June 2025), it was decided to increase to 3.5% (in terms of GDP) the expenditure of equipment of its member states and plus 1.5% for security infrastructure costs and related costs are on the EU agenda.both in the context of discussing the next Community budget, as well as Rearmeu 2030.
However, if there is a long delay in increasing equipment spending since the increase in equipment spending has been made since then.
This issue was extremely concerned with European interior ministers at Munich Migration Meeting meeting last Saturday, October 4, under the hosting of German Interior Minister Alexandr Dobrid (CSU).
It was also mentioned and the German Minister. Defense, Boris Pistorius, in an interview yesterday (5.10.25) at Handelsblatt, Putting a broader aspect on the front: “The Bundeswehr cannot be everywhere in Germany where drones appear and reject them. It is much more important for state and federal police forces to develop the potential they need to operate at a particular altitude. And when it comes to critical infrastructure, the operators themselves are called. Police cannot protect any power plant. And the Bundeswehr must focus on its mission. “
What is this aspect? HowThe national police forces should join the Defense Mechanisms and not just the Armed Forces!
It is recalled that for several weeks, weeks, Many NATO Member States have reported drones or military aircraft in their airspace. In Poland, Estonia and Romania, there have been incidents involving suspicious Russian aircraft. Drones of unknown origin have been identified in Norway, and in Denmark, drone incidents have even led to the temporary closure of airports. The government in Copenhagen has implied that these are hybrid attacks by Russia.
Concerns are also increasing in Germany. Munich Airport was suspended for the second time on Friday, October 3, 2025 due to the detection of drones. Drones of unknown origin had already seriously disturbed the volatile functions at Germany’s second largest airport on Thursday night and until Friday night.
Recent drone flights over Schleswig-Holstein’s German state were also worried about authorities. According to a report by Spiegel magazine, it is suspected that critical infrastructures were deliberately flying over them for inspection purposes. These included a power station in Kiel, the University Hospital and the TKMS submarine shipyard.
Mone: Changing Agenda Due to Drones
Many European Interior Ministers, including EU Home Affairs Commissioner Magnus Brunner (which is a political center -right Austrian People’s Party, namely the “brother” of the German CDU – CSU in Vienna), participated in the meeting. However, the main theme was migration – the “Munich Migration Meeting” was the title of the event.
Interior Minister Dobrid added the drones to the agenda only in a short period of time. He used the exchange of views to discuss a common European approach and to present his plans for improved defense against drones in the European context.
Which European solutions are possible
Prior to the meeting, Dobrid explained that, among other things, the emphasis would be placed on the development of a European plan for detecting and defense against drones. “We are in a road race between the threat of drones and the defense against the drones,” the CSU politician said on Friday, October 3, 2025.
EU Home Affairs Commissioner Brunner announced additional EU funding for drones. He noted that EUR 150 million by the EU border organization, Frontex, have already been allocated for this purpose. “We will provide an additional 250 million euros from the border protection fund, especially for drones,” he said, referring to his organization’s proposal. This will also include airport protection, he noted.
Brunner spoke of a hybrid war, as attacks no longer only occur on the EU’s eastern external borders, but also in the heart of Europe.
How big are the gaps in the protection
In all European countries, infrastructures that are central to the state, the economy and society are easily sabotaged by professional terrorists. According to experts, Germany is not able to effectively protect its own infrastructure from enemy drones.
There is a shortage of technological solutions as well as an appropriate legal framework, the German Aerospace Industry Association (BDLI) wrote in a letter to the German government in July.
The cooperation between the various competent institutions is inadequate and complex. For weeks, it was impossible to identify or even prevent illegal drones overflows at Mancheng Military Airport. “The fact that enemy spy drones often prevail over police flight systems does not correspond to the image we have as a defensive, constitutional state,” said BDLI executive Marie-Christine von Hahn.
Why is it so difficult to defense from drones
Drones are often small, flexible and difficult to detect, Handelsblatt reports. Radar political systems, such as those used at airports, usually do not reliably detect such aircraft. In addition, even staff without military training can use them. Many drones can easily be purchased commercially and technically modified. They can then be used for espionage, deeds of sabotage or terrorist purposes.
Ulrike Franke of the European Foreign Relations Council in Paris has explained that multiple systems are essential for defense against various drones. He mentioned as examples in Spiegel Magazine interference, lasers and microwave systems. There are also drones that intercept drones, for example, with nets. “There is no single system that you can buy to protect critical infrastructure and thus overcome all the challenges,” he said.
Germany: What exactly does Federal Interior Minister Dobrid are proposing
Dobrid wants to amend the Air Force Safety Act. In the future, it should explicitly stipulate that Bundeswehr can support police in defense operations from drones within Germany. The minister plans to present a corresponding proposal this month. In addition, it is going to be created A center of defense by drones to coordinate the project and technical development of the federal and state government.
Dobrid has also repeatedly announced that the federal cabinet is expected to approve the new Federal Police Law since next week. This law will provide A more accurate definition of conditions under which federal and state police can intervene on suspicious flights of unmanned aircraft.
The CSU politician also said that a new unit will be set up within the federal police that would focus exclusively on defense from unmanned aircraft of the future. Connected to this unit will be departments of development and research that will work closely with partners such as Israel and Ukraine.
