Berlin is determined.

Germany intends to significantly strengthen its defenses against Russian sabotage and other hybrid attacks.

This was reported by Bild.

German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt presented a package of measures to strengthen the country’s defenses against hybrid threats.

The plan calls for:

countering drone attacks and acts of sabotage against critical infrastructure;

strengthening cybersecurity;

detecting spies and potential terrorists.

One of the proposed measures is the expansion of mobile units within the federal police that will specialize in countering drones. These units will be able to move quickly between regions and will be equipped with helicopters and specialized equipment.

They will be used to protect the airspace above key transportation facilities, particularly airports and train stations, as well as over the government district in Berlin.

The units’ mission will be not only to detect and intercept drones, but also to neutralize those that may be carrying explosives.

Another initiative concerns companies responsible for critical infrastructure. Water utilities, energy companies, and defense industry representatives may be granted additional legal authority to counter drones. This will allow them to respond to threats independently, without waiting for government forces to arrive.

Special attention will be given to modern technologies. German authorities want to make broader use of artificial intelligence, biometric facial recognition systems, and video surveillance, including at train stations. Such technologies should help detect weapons, suspicious behavior, and individuals suspected of planning attacks or engaging in espionage.

Another priority will be strengthening cybersecurity. Germany plans to create a national “Cyberdome”—a complex network of digital sensors designed to detect cyberattack attempts and help block them.
