[The German Defense Forces will form its first UAV regiment in 2027] On October 2, German Defense Minister Pistorius announced on the 1st that in order to adapt to changes in modern combat patterns, the Bundeswehr will officially form its first UAV combat regiment in 2027. Pistorius said during an inspection of the Bergen military training area in Lower Saxony that day that this decision was based on the experience of the Ukrainian battlefield. If we want to take the initiative in future ground operations, we must master and use unmanned systems for combat. According to reports, the regiment will be equipped with aerial drones and ground unmanned combat systems, with a maximum combat radius of up to 500 kilometers, and will have an "electronic warfare combat unit" under it. The initial strength of the force is about 300, and it will be expanded to about 600 in the future. Its stationing location has not yet been determined.
