Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Seen Over Nuclear Base: What Happened in the United States?
The Independent: A group of drones attempted to attack a military base in the United States
A group of unidentified drones attempted to attack a key military facility in the United States. The facility is Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, where B-52 strategic bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons are stationed. The information was released by The Independent.
According to the report, drone activity was monitored over the base for several nights in a row. The base command had to take enhanced security measures and temporarily closed the runways for aircraft takeoff and landing.
The US military does not rule out that these drones were used for reconnaissance purposes or to test the effectiveness of air defense systems. However, the specific mission of the drones and the location of the operators remain unknown.
On March 19, a similar incident also occurred in Washington. According to U.S. media reports, a drone was found over Fort Lesley McNair, where senior officials from the State Department and the Defense Department reside. The source of the drone remains undetermined to this day.
An U.S. government source revealed that, against the backdrop of ongoing tensions with Iran, the military has increased monitoring of potential threats. After the incident, security measures at the base were further strengthened, and the White House held a meeting on subsequent actions.
