The Western Journal: They're in the UK Too - Drones Buzzing Presumed US Nuclear Base, FBI Has Known for a Year
Recent drone sightings near a U.S. airbase in the UK, reportedly housing nuclear weapons, have raised concerns about national security. The FBI has known about similar threats to U.S. military installations for over a year but has taken minimal action, leading to questions about their competence.
A senior UK military officer noted that the drones, which can evade detection, were able to fly at speeds of up to 170 mph without being intercepted. The lack of effective response measures, despite previous incidents at Langley Air Force Base, suggests a troubling gap in the government's ability to address these threats.
