Suspected Russian drones are regularly being spotted over army bases in Germany where Nato is training Ukrainian soldiers, it has been reported.

Ukrainians learning to operate Leopard tanks have been repeatedly observed by drones overhead, according to German tabloid Bild. 

Marcus Faber, a German MP, said he suspected Russia was responsible but did not have concrete evidence.

The German army has “a huge amount of catching up to do when it comes to drones”, he warned.

Andreas Schwarz, another MP, added: “We must not allow Russia to spy on military training areas with drones.”

Germany trained at least 6,000 Ukrainian soldiers in 2023.
