Drone with explosives: 'That can also happen in Austria,' warns expert

Austria's drone defense capabilities have significant gaps, according to drone defense expert and entrepreneur Stephan Kraschansky. He warns that a scenario similar to the one in Leipzig, Germany, where a drone carrying explosives caused damage, could easily happen in Austria.

Kraschansky explained that the technology is accessible enough for amateurs to assemble such devices. He pointed out specific vulnerabilities in Austria's current drone defense systems, suggesting they are not adequately prepared for such threats. The expert's assessment follows a recent incident in Leipzig that underscored the potential dangers posed by weaponized drones.
