Der Täter von Leipzig befand sich möglicherweise nicht einmal in Deutschland. Nach Recherchen von ZDF frontal und ZEIT waren an der Sprengstoffdrohne 5G-Antennen verbaut. Die Steuerung soll über Mobilfunk erfolgt sein. Ein Pilot hätte damit theoretisch nicht einmal in Deutschland sitzen müssen, sondern ganz entspannt in einem Café im Ausland. Das erklärt möglicherweise auch, warum die Suche nach einem Täter aus Fleisch und Blut mit Fernsteuerung in der Nähe des Flughafens ins Leere führen konnte. Die Drohne war keine gewöhnliche Baumarktdrohne, die über eine kurze Funkverbindung gesteuert wird. Sie war technisch so verändert, dass sie über das Mobilfunknetz kontrolliert werden konnte. Genau diese Bauweise könnte dazu beigetragen haben, dass vorhandene Detektionssysteme sie erst gar nicht erkannten. Gleichzeitig hat die Bundesanwaltschaft die Ermittlungen übernommen. Im Raum stehen der Verdacht des versuchten Herbeiführens einer Sprengstoffexplosion und des gefährlichen Eingriffs in den Luftverkehr. Damit ist endgültig klar: Das ist kein gewöhnlicher Drohnenvorfall und längst kein rein sächsisches Ermittlungsverfahren mehr. Die 5G-Steuerung wirft aber auch eine neue Frage auf: Wenn eine SIM-Karte verbaut war, müsste es grundsätzlich digitale Spuren geben. Welche Karte wurde genutzt? Auf wen war sie registriert? Über welches Netz lief die Verbindung? Und von wo kamen die Steuerbefehle? Das heißt nicht, dass die Täter nun leichter zu finden wären. SIM-Karten können auf falsche Namen laufen, über Mittelsmänner beschafft oder im Ausland registriert worden sein. Verbindungen können zusätzlich verschleiert werden. Aber vollständig spurlos ist Mobilfunk nicht. Es ist gerade ein bisschen wie beim Hasen und Igel. Kaum haben wir eine Abwehrmaßnahme, taucht eine Technik auf, die genau diese umgehen kann. Dafür gibt es Lösungen. Und wie heißt es so schön? Wenn's gut werden soll, einfach mal die Profis fragen: Die Ukraine hat inzwischen mehr Erfahrungen mit Drohnen und Drohnenabwehr gesammelt, als irgendjemand sonst in Europa oder gar weltweit. #Drohnen #Sicherheit #Technologie
