Drone crash in Kesselsdorf: Fire brigade prevents greater fire!
On October 1, 2025 at 12 p.m., a drone in the Wilsdruffer district of Kesselsdorf crashed. The drone belonged to the Swiss company Jedsy and was part of a test flight that was supposed to simulate medical transport. Fortunately, there were no injuries in this incident.
The crash occurred during the landing approach in suspension mode when one of ten engines failed. The drone then lost in an uncontrolled height and opened on the roof of rental garages. The device was largely destroyed by the impact. Interestingly, the battery burned short after the crash, but the fire went out before the fire brigade arrived.
Previous incidents and security concerns
A little later it turned out that this incident was not isolated. At the end of August 2025, another Jedsy drone crashed into Schleswig-Holstein after colliding with a medium-sized line. This drone caused a surface burn on a field of around 1,500 square meters and led to around 800 households without electricity at short notice. The pilot came to rescue from a control center in Croatia by triggering a "digital parachute", which initiated the emergency landing.
In order to counteract future incidents, Jedsy plans to expand the basic training of the pilots. The number of standardized alternative procedures should be increased from 12 to 30 in order to be able to react better to incidents. In addition, it is worked on improved integration of smaller power lines into the software to avoid collisions and to ensure greater security.
The role of drones in modern medicine
Both incidents raise questions about the safety of drones in the medical sector. The clinic group Asklepios, for which the JedSy drones are active, had already started the scheduled flight operations for the transport of laboratory samples. The aim is to establish unmanned drone flights between Dresden and Dippoldiswalde in order to transport urgently needed medical freight, such as blood samples, more efficiently.
The EASA (European Air Security Agency) points out in its 2025 annual report that no fatal drone accident was recorded in European airspace. This gives hope that the proactive security culture and data -driven analyzes that are increasingly being used in aviation will also be used in the area of drones. Nevertheless, a large number of security -related incidents were registered in various areas of aviation, and the main causes of drone accidents are still loss of control, collisions with mannered aviation and navigation errors.
The EASA therefore demands that all actors in the industry pull together to further develop security management and open error culture. The demands for more training courses and reporting obligations are also clear signs that the industry is concerned with security. Drones could help replace tens of thousands of kilometers on floor -bound transports every day. But security aspects must always be in the foreground, as the recent incidents show.
A variety of initiatives and increased training could help quickly recognize future risks and avoid unnecessary accidents, so that medical technology can benefit from the slight aviation and progress continues without setbacks.
