There has been a stir due to the sighting of Russian drones over Germany's nuclear power plants and sensitive areas. According to the information, the maximum number of drones were seen on August 8 and August 20. The authorities have started investigating the drones seen in sensitive areas of northern Germany.

Frequent violations of no-fly zones over nuclear power plants

According to information, the no-fly zone at the nuclear power plant has been repeatedly violated. Drones have been spotted since August 8, one of which was flying at a speed of 100 km/h on August 20. It is suspected that this drone is the Russian-made Orlan-10 model, known for its long-range capabilities.

NATO declares 'Charlie Two' alert

Officials are investigating several aspects, including possible espionage, but have not released more details for security reasons. At the same time, security has been increased at the NATO military base in Geilenkirchen, western Germany, and Charlie Two alert has been declared. Apart from this, all the personnel not involved in the operation have been sent home as a precaution. This alert has also come up in Germany. The special thing is that in the last few days, incidents of sabotage have been reported at three places in Germany. Now after seeing the Russian drone, the officials have become suspicious of these sabotage incidents.

How dangerous is the Orlan-10 drone?

Russia's Orlan-10 drone has proved to be very helpful in the Ukraine war. According to a report, Russia has used hundreds of Orlan-10 drones in Ukraine. This drone is known for its long-range capability, it is able to easily detect targets. The Russian army can attack a target within 3 to 5 minutes as soon as it identifies it, whereas it usually takes 20 to 30 minutes to carry out such an attack. These include Canon EOS-D series cameras for aerial photography, thermal imaging and video cameras.

Is Russia retaliating for Ukraine attack?

On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin alleged that the Ukrainian army had tried to attack the nuclear plant in Kursk. He also informed about giving information about this to the IAEA and sending an investigation team. Earlier, Russia had accused NATO countries of helping Ukraine. In such a situation, can it be believed that the Russian drones seen near the German nuclear plant could be part of a retaliatory action? The way the Ukrainian army is advancing in Russia shows that Putin can take a big step in retaliation.
