Mystery Drones Seen Flying Over US Military Bases in the UK for a Week (11/27/24)

US officials say the drones have so far not impacted base residents or US assets

Unidentified drones have been spotted over joint U.S.-U.K. bases in the U.K. for nearly a week.

Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin reports that four U.S. military bases in the U.K. that house the American F-15 Strike Eagle and F-35 fighter jets have been targeted by "swarms of small drones" since Nov. 20.

Military officials say they are "alarmed" at what appears to be a coordinated effort to test security at RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall and RAF Feltwell in eastern England, as well as RAF Fairford in southwestern England.

The U.K. military has sent around 60 personnel to protect the bases being targeted by multiple drone incursions.

A senior U.S. official told Fox that the drones do not appear to be those of "hobbyists." Witnesses say they are small quadcopters and octocopters and are more sophisticated than those that can be bought off the shelf.

Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said earlier Tuesday that none of these drone incursions have impacted the base residents, the facilities or U.S. assets on the bases.
"We, of course, always maintain the right to defend ourselves if we deem something to be a threat," Ryder said.

U.S. officials have not revealed the origin of the drones, but the coordinated nature suggests an aggressive state actor that began a day after Ukraine used long-range American ATACMs to target Russia after President Biden lifted restrictions on the use of longer-range missiles.
