Unknown drone fleet breached US military base airspace in Virginia for 17 straight days: report
FOX NewsOCT 20 2024
Unidentified drones have been observed surveilling sensitive US military sites like Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, and Edwards Air Force Base, Nevada, in the past year.
The drones, appearing in groups of a dozen or more, were first reported in December 2023 at Langley, home to the advanced F-22 Raptor fighter jets.
The Langley base plans to instal anti-drone nets at the facility to help protect the stealth fighters and “is in the process of determining the acquisition strategy."
These drone incursions pose a serious national security threat. Foreign adversaries could be gathering crucial intelligence on America's most advanced military assets. The Pentagon's inability to effectively counter these drones exposes a significant vulnerability in our defense systems.
The drone sightings might be exaggerated or misinterpreted. Without concrete evidence of foreign involvement, it's premature to assume malicious intent. These could be harmless civilian drones or even misidentified natural phenomena. Overreacting could lead to unnecessary tensions with other nations.
