Germany back in 2023 signed a contract with Israeli company Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) for supplying Arrow 3 missile defense systems worth $3.5 billion. Already on December 1, 2026, at an airbase near Annaburg city in Saxony-Anhalt, the system was deployed and reached initial combat readiness.
However, it turned out that two days before official deployment, three unknown drones flew over this system. Moreover, Defense Romania noted that they flew at approximately 100 meters altitude directly over the radar station from Arrow 3 composition.
G27P assault rifles were used for this, equipped with Israeli Smash X4 smart sights, which have recently been actively promoted as a anti-drone solution. However, they failed to shoot down the unmanned aircraft, which then disappeared from the scene.
Later, German counterintelligence and military police classified this incident as an act of deliberate espionage. Defense Express adds that despite all importance of this system which, besides costing over $3.5 billion, is nearly Europe’s only defense against russian Oreshnik and intercontinental ballistic missiles Germany couldn’t protect it from three drones flying directly over it.
What makes you think europe governments are being soft? Fly a drone with the palestian flag in any european city and let’s see how soft they are about it.
There are two outcomes out of this: Big chances are that nobody cares. There are a lot of people flying drones in cities, even if they shouldn’t. If you’re unlucky, the police will catch you and you’re in trouble, but that really has nothing to do with palestine, but rather the fact that flying drones in cities is illegal in nearly every european country for good reasons.
