Europe must self-secure as US reliability wanes; Germany lacks drone shield

Russia has explicitly warned Germany of further sabotage, following an incident at Leipzig airport, signaling an escalation in Moscow's hybrid warfare posture. Concurrently, the Bundeswehr has for the first time classified the threat of Russian sabotage against its forces and facilities as 'significant' after a drone incident near Wunstorf airbase. While the Kremlin's warning and direct attribution of incidents to Russia remain partially confirmed, these developments indicate a formal shift in Germany's threat perception and a potential increase in Russian covert operations.
