Threat situation from hybrid threats and weapons depots

Weapons depots are known from the Cold War. But no one should be under the illusion that today's threat is not hot. The attacks are complex and sometimes hidden, at least as far as their exact origin is concerned. Cyber ​​attacks on critical infrastructure, on federal and state governments, disinformation campaigns, right up to the murder in the Tiergarten by a Russian agent.

With the discovery of two handguns that were probably intended for attacks, the German authorities assume that the “involvement of foreign powers” ​​cannot be ruled out. This shows once again the high level of danger in which Germany finds itself. It's good that the camp was discovered early - even if the discovery didn't go unnoticed by the perpetrators.

Regardless of who, according to the Federal Prosecutor General, was or could be the target of this secret service spy activity and preparation of a serious act that was dangerous to the state: maximum vigilance is still required. The order of the day is not to be intimidated and to stand up to it. Deterrence also works against hybrid attacks. This is also a community task in the broader sense.
