# German federal police will be allowed to shoot down drones, following a recent string of sightings which Berlin has blamed on Russia. Unveiling a draft law, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said police would be able to use jamming devices or take “physical measures, that is to say, intercepting and shooting down drones”. Germany was learning about modern drone defences from its allies Israel and Ukraine. He said the federal police would also receive “an additional unit for development and research into drone defence”.
