Summary
Unidentified drones were recently spotted over the US air base in Ramstein, Germany, and facilities belonging to German arms maker Rheinmetall, according to Der Spiegel.
Similar sightings occurred earlier in Brunsbüttel, with some officials suspecting Russian espionage, though no evidence has been confirmed.
The US Air Force stated the Ramstein base experienced “no impacts” and is monitoring the airspace with German authorities.
This follows reports of drone sightings in New Jersey and at UK air bases, which US authorities say do not currently pose a national security threat.
My wife is not into metal, but she took her brother to a Rammstein concert in the 90s and said it was absolutely amazing, so I’m not surprised they’ve incorporated drones into the act.

There are US bases all over the world. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_military_installations
Britain and the US have army bases in Germany ever since WW2
Russia had some until the 90s as well.
They did an oopsie in the 40s and it’s inertia from there.
That said, IIRC there is a German base in the US too.
Makes it easier to bomb other countries when you have somewhere to do a layover.
It kinda sounds like something that leads to a threat when put together like that
You can make anything look like a threat if you frame it correctly.
Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action–but this only applies if they’re related. Thousands of people are flying drones around all kinds of places every day.
