German warships ‘sabotaged by workers’

Prosecutors accuse two men from Romania and Greece of tampering with state-of-the-art corvettes in Hamburg

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of sabotaging several German warships.

The shipworkers, a 37-year-old Romanian and a 54-year-old Greek national, are accused of tampering with the vessels by pouring more than 20kg of steel pellets into an engine block, puncturing freshwater lines, removing fuel tank caps and disabling fuses in the onboard electronics.

Prosecutors said the vessels – two state-of-the-art corvettes – were docked ⁠at Hamburg harbour in 2025 when the suspected sabotage occurred.

It was discovered during pre-departure checks as one of the ships, the Emden corvette, was preparing for ‍its inaugural journey ‌to the port city of Kiel.

Defence Forces tell gardaí they can't provide anti-drone security for EU Presidency meetings

Gardaí have been told by the Defence Forces that the military cannot secure locations outside of its airbase at Baldonnel.

GARDAÍ HAVE MADE a formal request for military assistance to provide anti-drone equipment for multiple locations during the upcoming EU Presidency but the Defence Forces have told them they will only deploy the equipment to protect Baldonnel airfield.

Sources have told The Journal that the move has left garda planners frustrated, and they now, almost certainly, will have to ask foreign agencies to assist in provision of anti-drone capability.

And in the same light I will repost this US article about domestic drone defences.

In addition to watchkeepers it seems we are way past the days where an ADATs and a couple of Blowpipes could be hauled out of storage every decade or so to protect the great and good at Kananaskis.
