A drone carrying explosives penetrated security at Leipzig Halle Airport in Germany and struck a Ukrainian-owned Antonov aircraft. Its detonator failed, potentially preventing civilian casualties.

In this episode of What Just Happened?, host Sibylline analyst Caspar von der Schulenburg joins Samuel McVicar to examine the incident and what it could signal about the evolution of Russian grey zone tactics in Europe. The discussion explores the drone's sophistication, weaknesses in current counter-drone defences, and the broader implications for European security. If deliberate attacks against targets in NATO territory become more common, governments and businesses may need to rethink how they protect critical infrastructure and civilian sites.
