US Air Force Monitors Drones Over UK Bases

The US Air Force is investigating multiple sightings of unidentified drones over RAF bases in the UK, specifically RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, and RAF Feltwell, which occurred between November 20 and 25. These drone incursions have raised security concerns, particularly given the escalating tensions surrounding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. While the USAF confirmed that the drones did not pose an immediate threat to residents or infrastructure, there is speculation about their potential link to espionage, particularly involving Russia, as similar incidents have been reported previously. Both the US and UK defense officials are taking these sightings seriously, with the Ministry of Defence emphasizing their robust counter-drone capabilities. Despite the ongoing investigations, no definitive information about the drones' origin or purpose has been made public. This situation underscores the heightened security environment facing military operations in Europe.
