The mystery drone swarms over British bases that could be a sign of an impending Russian attack - as alarm over New Jersey UFOs spreads across the globe
Daily Mail ^ | December 13 2024 | TOM COTTERILL

A British intelligence chief has warned Russian spies could soon launch a fresh wave of drones at military HQs across the UK in a bid to cause mayhem - amid alarm over sightings worldwide.

Last month saw a mysterious swarm of drones targeting three air bases used by the US Air Force, which triggered a scramble by British troops and police.

The unmanned aerial vehicles - or UAVs - were seen hovering over RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall, in Suffolk, and RAF Feltwell in Norfolk, over several days, in a what defence sources described as a 'coordinated' operation.

How the HELL are defense forces around the world powerless to stop these drone swarms or, at the least, understand where they originate, where they land, what they are communicating, and who is behind them?

I think whatever these drones are up to has to do with something to sabotage DJT.

An Apache attack helicopter needs to target at least one of them.

If I was spying on military installations with drones I think I’d be a little more stealthy than to fly ‘em lite up......that makes absolutely no sense to me.

I’ve read speculation that these drones are there to sample for biological or radiological traces.
I mean our government wouldn’t keep us in the dark about something like this, right ?

That would be good, but the biggest piece left would be no bigger than your thumbnail. How to capture one of them “alive”?

The fact that the US and UK military and law enforcement are claiming to know nothing and are not shooting these drones down leads me to believe that this is a deliberate attempt by our government to stir up fear.

Hope that at least some of these 'objects' can be brought down in good enough shape to be examined.

Not sure if such technology exists, but perhaps some FReepers would know.

There always seems to be experts here on whatever subject is under discussion.

Drop a net on it from above.

The things have rotors, right?

Use chaff.

Ha ha. Haven’t the Brits learned that there are no drones? The Biden Administration says do. England’s military is seeing swamp gas too. Do not believe the evidence of your eyes.

Only if the President and his administration hated the American people...

I was thinking about that. A sniper rifle from a helicopter might wing one just enough to crash it. Then, hope it didn’t land on somebody on the ground.

The problem is that it’s all merely speculation. One guess is as good as the next. Some need to be captured.

It would help to know if they show up on radar. Hallucinations don’t.

An Apache attack helicopter needs to target at least one of them.

Once they deploy an armed swarm of hundreds or thousands (like they do every weekend for drone shows across the world), an Apache stands no chance.

Here is one using ~7600 drones all controlled by a laptop.
