Major General Christian Freuding of the German Bundeswehr has warned that Russia is aiming to launch 2,000 drones simultaneously, highlighting the challenges of intercepting them. His statement comes amid increasing media preparation in Germany for potential conflict with Russia.
Freuding emphasized that intercepting Shahed drones with costly Patriot missiles is not cost-effective, stating, "The most effective way to counter Russia is deep retaliatory strikes against Russian bases, airfields, aircraft, defense plants, and production facilities."
