Authorities in Bavaria confirmed that on January 13, 2025, they recorded at least ten mysterious drone sightings above Manching Air Base. This activity is believed to be linked to Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine. The state's criminal police suggested that espionage could be a motive, as the drones seem to be trying to capture images of military installations. This coincides with similar drone incidents reported in previous months at both Manching and nearby Neuburg an der Donau.
The investigation into the drone sightings has been handed over to the Munich Public Prosecutor General's Office. Officials treat the incident seriously, especially given that Manching Air Base is critical for the testing of new military aircraft. The pattern of drone flights, especially near military sites, raises alarms about potential security breaches or information gathering related to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
