KNDS urges EU to let defense firms shoot down drones

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

French-German 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 appeal follows a rise in sabotage and espionage incidents across Europe that have been linked to Russia. The company argues current rules leave critical defense industry sites vulnerable to surveillance and potential attacks from the air.

Why now: Growing concern in Europe over Russian-linked drone activity and sabotage targeting defense infrastructure.
