Russia was behind a drone attack on August 4, 2023, at Leipzig Halle Airport, a critical NATO logistics hub, where an 800-gram PETN explosive device was delivered to a Ukrainian AN-124 aircraft. This incident, which went unnoticed for four hours due to security lapses and involved a purpose-built mercenary-grade explosive, indicates a deliberate act of provocation and an escalation of Russia's risk appetite, despite Germany's 28-day delay in publicly confirming Russia's involvement.
