- Description
- In Bavaria, the first joint German-Ukrainian facility has begun manufacturing Ukrainian drones abroad. RFE/RL visited the workshop near Munich where Linza drones are assembled — the first of several joint ventures Ukraine is launching to expand military production across Europe. The facility employs dozens of Ukrainians, many of them refugees.
The Linza drone is designed for logistical support, capable of delivering essential supplies like water and first aid kits to front-line troops. For now, all units are being sent to Ukraine, but the project aims to eventually supply German and other European forces.
This development highlights the growing role of drones in modern warfare — and how international cooperation is reshaping military production.

Radio enthusiasts believe it may be a numbers station, a type of spy radio station historically used to send encrypted coded messages to intelligence agents. These broadcasts were widely used by spies in the Cold War, allowing governments to communicate with operatives in secret.
RFE/RL captured this numbers station audio recording on March 10. Soon after, someone tried jamming the signal with electronic interference.
Numbers stations are considered Cold War spy tech, used by intelligence services like the CIA to communicate with agents around the world.
