Suspected Russian explosives-equipped drones used for sabotage in Germany

The report describes suspected Russian use of small drones carrying explosive payloads for sabotage/attack missions against German military-related targets (e.g., Wunstorf air base) and surveillance of defense sites. This indicates an operational shift from reconnaissance-style overflights to weaponized drones intended to cause physical damage or lethal effects on NATO/partner infrastructure.
