Iranian ‘Suicide Drone’ Missile Factory Discovered Hidden in Plain Sight—Inside a German Industrial Park
The CEO of a Bavarian logistics firm is facing federal scrutiny after investigators uncovered a secret production line for Shahed-style suicide drones and missile components operating under a fake shell company. German authorities raided the site, revealing advanced weapon manufacturing equipment disguised as auto parts assembly. The operation had been exporting 60% of its output to sanctioned regimes via forged shipping manifests. This audacious breach shatters Europe’s illusion of supply chain security, sending shockwaves through NATO defense procurement. Immediate legal and diplomatic fallout threatens to reshape transatlantic trade protocols.
