- A German man allegedly sent another drone letter after the one at Leipzig/Halle Airport.
- Alexander Dobryndt claimed that the drone was equipped with an aircraft tracking device for Germany’s “new scene.”
- According to the indictment, the letter was sent without an identifiable sender after the incident at Hannover Airport, and the investigation believes that the same person was behind it.
German authorities say a drone letter was sent to Leipzig/Halle Airport, which contained a hidden message in the form of a tracking device. DW and CNN reported on the details.
Germany’s interior ministry said Alexander Dobryndt claimed the drone he had sent was equipped with an aircraft tracking device for Germany’s “new scene.” In a statement to CNN, he said the investigation’s claim that he had placed an untraceable tracking device on the drone was false, adding that the drone’s new flight route was the reason.
In Dobryndt’s view, the next step was unclear, saying it could be linked to “a conspiracy,” which could include both the operation and the work of a professional. CNN’s material notes that the ministry’s account is: the case is about “a conspiracy,” which may involve both the operation and the work of a professional.
According to CNN, the German authorities believe the drone letter was sent without a clear sender using an unidentified shipping method. The investigation says the drone was used to deliver the letter, and that the tracking device was intended to help locate the drone. The investigation also says the device was not meant to be found by the recipient.
In a CNN publication, it was also noted that the drone letter contained a hidden message in the form of a tracking device. The tracking device was allegedly used to locate the drone after it was sent. The letter was allegedly sent from Hannover Airport.
Leipzig/Halle Airport, according to CNN, was named as the location of the previous incidents in Europe. Since 2022, after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, Antonov Airlines has been transporting aircraft with a new flight route. The investigation says the drone letter was sent in order to locate the aircraft.
According to CNN, the German outlet Bild, citing its own sources, reported that there was no technical evidence that the drone’s tracking device was used for the purpose claimed. CNN’s material also says that Bild reports that the German authorities have not provided details about the incident.
