Behind the shift: a crashed drone carrying highly explosive material, found in mid-September just metres from an aircraft at Wunstorf airbase in Lower Saxony. BKA technical analysis indicates it may have been lying near the base for roughly two years. Investigators believe the target was military aircraft, not civilian ones. The assessment says Moscow almost certainly has the capability and very likely a growing intent to hit German military sites and Ukrainian personnel in Germany.

The campaign reportedly began with an attempted explosive-drone attack at Germany’s Leipzig airport in August. The operation has since expanded to target military suppliers, communications infrastructure and commercial shipping, in an alleged Russian attempt to disrupt European support to Ukraine. The Leipzig incident was particularly dangerous; an explosives-laden drone targeted an airport used to transport military supplies, but the attack failed.
