Germany Plans to Create Combat Drone Fleet for NATO

Germany plans to create a fleet of reusable combat drones capable of carrying weapons or electronic warfare systems, potentially operating alongside manned fighter jets. The first fleet is expected to be formed by 2029, although the country currently lacks such capabilities. The Ministry of Defense is already debating where to procure these drones.
