Inspector General Zorn: "Awareness of the threats to the NATO area"

WELT AM SONNTAG:

The coalition agreement promises the best possible equipment for the Bundeswehr.

Do you still take that seriously when, after eight years of debate, the SPD now wants to continue discussing the acquisition of armed drones?

Eberhard Zorn: In

my opinion, the military need for an armed drone remains unchanged.

And not at some point, but in the foreign deployments that we are experiencing today.

It is necessary to better protect soldiers, but also to increase their operational value.

Otherwise I will force our troops into cover and condemn them to inactivity instead of allowing them to act actively.

WELT AM SONNTAG:

The SPD first wants to analyze the war in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Does this conflict result in any need for the Bundeswehr to reassess drones?
