Bunker demand in Germany jumps 50 percent after Russian drone incursions in Poland

As the publication writes, in Germany, more and more people are looking at the security situation with concern, referring to the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Against this background, demand for private protective bunkers in Germany has increased.

The technical director of BSSD Defense, Mario Peide, a company that builds bunkers across Germany, stated that the country is currently experiencing a real "bunker boom."

"Since January, the number of inquiries to us has increased by 50 percent. People have realized that Putin is serious. Companies are calling us because they want to have bunkers for their employees on the company premises," said Peide.

In addition, according to Peide, currently 10 percent of new buildings are being constructed with bunkers.

According to the publication, in Munich, demand for bunkers has risen after recent events in Poland, when Russian drones violated the country's airspace. At present, the cost of a private bunker ranges from € 30,000 to € 50,000.

Russian drones in Poland

On the night of September 9–10, Russia carried out a massive attack on Ukraine, during which enemy drones violated Polish airspace. They were destroyed by Polish and Allied fighter jets.

In Lublin Voivodeship, during the downing of the drones, a private house was damaged. Polish media reported that it might have been hit by a missile from an F-16 fighter jet launched at a target.

In addition, it is known that drones that were not shot down fell due to running out of fuel. In particular, fragments of 16 drones were found near the border with Ukraine.

Earlier, Tusk stated that a total of 19 drones had been recorded. Fighter jets were scrambled to intercept them, but only four targets were destroyed.
