Germany issues chilling order to all troops amid rising tensions with warmonger Putin Germany has told its soldiers to shoot down any suspicious drones spotted over its military sites amid rising tensions with Russia.
A statement from Germany's Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said that, "especially since [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine, we have seen that drones are being used more and more frequently, which poses an increasing challenge for the police and their current technology ".
The country's cabinet agreed the unprecedented move with the belief that they may be spy drones and are part of Putin's "shadow war" against Western countries supporting Ukraine.
Under current regulations, soldiers are allowed to assist the police in forcing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to change direction or land, threaten to shoot it down or fire warning shots.
But under the new scheme, a drone could be shot down by the army if it is believed the device is being "used against the lives of people or against a critical facility, and the use of armed force is the only means of averting this present danger," the ministry announced today.
