Drones Detected Over UK RAF Bases

Unidentified drones have been observed over three RAF bases in the UK, including Lakenheath, Mildenhall, and Feltwell, from November 20 to 22, with the United States Air Force (USAF) confirming the incidents. These bases, which house critical military assets including US nuclear warheads, were under scrutiny following recent threats from Russian President Vladimir Putin against Western military facilities. Despite the drones' presence, the USAF reported no impact on base residents or critical infrastructure. Unconfirmed reports suggest that F-15E Strike Eagles were dispatched in response, though the USAF declined to comment on specific defensive measures. The drone incidents have heightened tensions amid ongoing geopolitical disputes, notably involving Ukraine's use of NATO-supplied weaponry. The USAF continues to monitor airspace closely, cooperating with local authorities to maintain security.
