💥🕵️‍♂️ Der Fall #Hanning: Welche Konsequenzen zieht der #BND? Ein Blick auf die vergangenen Jahre zeigt, dass der Dienst Skandale und Pannen oft aussitzt. Kaum jemand hat Verantwortung übernommen und personelle Konsequenzen gezogen. ojihad.wordpress.com/2026/10… #Geheimdienste

DJI phantom style drone converted into a sacrificial munition, image was posted in 2021 and is from greater #Idlib, #Syria. Armed groups active in Syria and Iraq were among the first non-state actors to employ COTS UAVs on a wide-scale for both ISR and delivering munitions.
