When Germany would shoot down Russian drones

According to Pistorius, Germany would take action against Russian drones only if they endangered the country. He stressed that the decision depends entirely on the circumstances.

"It depends on the specific situation. It depends on whether it poses a real threat to our security. If there is a threat, of course we will shoot them down, but everything depends on the situation," the defense minister explained.
