KNDS urges EU to let arms firms down suspicious drones

Original: Arms-maker KNDS is calling for changes to European legislation to permit defense companies to shoot down suspicious dron

German-French arms manufacturer KNDS is calling for changes to European legislation that would allow defense companies to shoot down suspicious drones flying over their plants. The request comes amid a rise in sabotage and espionage incidents across Europe that officials have linked to Russia, raising concerns about the vulnerability of critical defense industry sites to aerial surveillance and potential attacks.

Why now: Growing concern over Russian-linked drone activity and sabotage targeting European defense facilities has put drone defense rules in the spotlight.
