Federal Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer has again spoken out in favor of purchasing armed drones for the German armed forces.
In an interview with WELT AM SONNTAG, the CDU chairwoman said: “We want the armed drone to protect the lives of our soldiers!” Kramp- Karrenbauer for "absurd".
“We have been debating this in Germany for eight years.
Broad public debates and hearings took place.
Everything is easy to read, all the arguments are clear on the table.
We have formulated operational principles that stipulate that armed drones may only be used defensively by the Bundeswehr, i.e. to protect their own people.
The demand for “more debate” is a purely advanced argument of the SPD ”.
Kramp-Karrenbauer said that for the second time the SPD is backing down on the purchase of armed drones to protect the Bundeswehr in action.
"The soldiers apparently cannot rely on the SPD."

Kramp-Karrenbauer called on Finance Minister Olaf Scholz (SPD) to take action on his part.
“The ammunition for the armed drones can only be obtained using a 25 million euro bill, which the budget committee has to decide on.
This template has been unprocessed for weeks by the Federal Finance Minister, who is also the SPD candidate for Chancellor.
Olaf Scholz has not yet approved the proposal, although we have the budget available in the defense budget - so Parliament has not yet been able to decide.
Olaf Scholz is in demand here, ”said Kramp-Karrenbauer.
