Drones Disrupt Operations at RAF Lakenheath, U.S. Air Force Base Near London
Nov 23, 2024, 11:16 AM
A series of drone incursions occurred over RAF Lakenheath, a U.S. Air Force base in England, on November 20, 2024. The base, which is 100 kilometers from London, houses F-35A and F-15E fighters. The U.S. Air Force Europe confirmed that multiple UAVs of varying sizes were detected, leading to the suspension of flight operations. There were unconfirmed reports that F-15E fighters were scrambled to intercept the drones. The incident has raised security concerns, particularly as the base is involved in building facilities to house nuclear weapons.
