Russia’s spy drones are stalking NATO supply lines in Germany — a direct threat to Ukraine’s lifeline of Western support. Between January and March, over 500 unidentified drones were spotted across Germany, many targeting military bases, testing grounds, and NATO logistics routes. Some of these drones are reportedly Iranian-made, gathering both photographic and electronic intelligence. Key sites like Schwesing Airbase, where Ukrainians train on Patriot systems, and Manching Air Base, a hub for German aircraft testing, have been overflown. The goal: mapping vulnerabilities, sabotaging supply chains, and weakening the steady flow of weapons and aid to Ukraine. Germany is scrambling to respond, but current counter-drone systems have proven ineffective. This campaign is part of a broader Kremlin strategy of hybrid warfare — from warehouse fires in the UK to sabotage attempts in Sweden and Germany. This video breaks down the scale of the drone threat, its strategic implications, and what it means for NATO’s ability to keep Ukraine armed and defended.
