Merz Warns: Europe Must Strengthen Security Amid Drone Incursions
Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) has voiced serious concerns about Europe's security, particularly in light of recent drone incursions. Speaking yesterday, Merz stressed the need for Europe to respond with strong signals to safeguard its own security.
Merz was particularly alarmed by drone sightings in Denmark and over Schleswig-Holstein. These drones, while unarmed, were equipped with advanced surveillance technology and had wingspans of up to eight meters. Authorities are still investigating their exact origin, although Merz believes they likely came from Russia.
Merz warned that shooting down such drones could pose risks to civilians. He acknowledged a shift in security political reality, noting that the rules-based world order is being replaced by naked power politics. He emphasized the need for better protection of Europe's airspace to prevent such devices from entering.
