Episode #3: Federal Armed Forces get combat technology drones – new drone operators in training
In episode three, we look at the topic of the armed forces and drones. For around a year now, the red-white-red armed forces have been training drone operators (-> Report: How the armed forces train drone operators), as the introduction of a new drone is imminent: the combat drone, or “combat technology drone” for short. Militär Aktuell reporter Stefan Tesch talks to the army’s long-time drone expert, Lieutenant Colonel Hartmuth Ziegler, Head of the Reconnaissance Unit in the Basic Training Department at the Army Troop School.
