Unidentified Drones Spotted Over Three US-Used UK Airbases

The US Air Force confirmed multiple drone sightings over RAF Lakenheath, Mildenhall, and Feltwell, raising security concerns but no immediate threats.

The drones were observed between November 20 and 22 at three RAF bases in eastern England used by the US Air Force: Lakenheath, Mildenhall, and Feltwell.
The drones varied in size and configuration, and their origin or intent remains unclear, with no evidence of hostile activity reported.
US and UK military officials stated that the incursions did not impact base residents or critical infrastructure but emphasized robust security measures are in place.
The incidents occurred during heightened geopolitical tensions, including escalations in the Ukraine conflict and concerns over potential Russian retaliation.
RAF Lakenheath, one of the bases involved, is a key site for US military operations in Europe and is slated to house nuclear warheads, increasing its strategic significance.
