BKA's findings regarding covert aerial surveillance drones

The newly elected German federal government, led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz, has been urged to address a pressing security concern: the increasing threat of spy drones over critical infrastructure. This call comes from Konstantin von Notz, the Deputy Parliamentary Group Chair, who emphasizes the immediate danger these drones pose to the country's security and democratic values.

A recent report by the BKA (Federal Criminal Police Office) has shed light on the extent of hostile, aggressive actions taking place daily in Germany regarding spy drones. The report provides details on the daily hostile and aggressive actions involving spy drones over critical infrastructure. However, it only illustrates a part of the problem, as there is still no sufficiently concrete or up-to-date situation picture regarding these drones over critical infrastructure.

The BKA report also reveals that authoritarian states, particularly Russia, are engaging in openly aggressive behavior related to spy drones over critical infrastructure in Germany. This aggressive behavior poses a concrete threat not just to critical infrastructures, but to society and democracy as a whole.

The Interior Ministry is under criticism for the absence of an effective strategy to combat spy drones over critical infrastructure. In response, Konstantin von Notz calls for reliably clarifying the situation, clearly defining and accelerating federal cooperation, assigning clear responsibilities, and creating a legally sound way to prevent spy drone flights.

Von Notz urges the new federal government to recognize the immediate danger from spy drones over critical infrastructure. He advocates for a clarified situation, defined and accelerated federal cooperation, clear assignment of responsibilities, and a legally sound method to prevent spy drone flights. The urgency of the situation is emphasized, as the continued use of spy drones poses a significant risk to Germany's security and democratic values.

The report underscores the fact that it only represents a portion of the overall problem concerning spy drones over critical infrastructure. It is clear that immediate action is needed to ensure the safety and security of Germany's critical infrastructures and its society as a whole. The new federal government must act swiftly and decisively to protect Germany from this growing threat.
