Russian spy drones have escalated their operations in Germany, moving from surveillance to potential attacks on critical infrastructure, including military sites and LNG terminals. Authorities have seized a vessel suspected of espionage, highlighting jurisdictional challenges between police and military in responding to these threats. The situation is complicated by the use of older ships from Russia's 'shadow fleet' for drone operations, raising concerns about monitoring and legal frameworks. Recent incidents of drones crossing into Polish airspace further indicate a broader regional threat.
