It comes after unidentified drones were previously spotted between Wednesday and Friday of last week over the same three airbases.
Around 60 British troops, including counter-drone specialists, have been deployed to help defend three air bases used by the US Air Force in the UK after a spate of 'weird' drone sightings. The military personnel will also support efforts to find out who is operating the unmanned aerial vehicles amid fears the mysterious sorties might be part of some 'coordinated' operation.
'I can confirm the situation is ongoing and our units continue to monitor the airspace and are working with host-nation authorities and mission partners to ensure the safety of base personnel, facilities, and assets,' the US Air Forces in Europe spokesperson said. 'To safeguard operational security, we do not discuss specific force protection measures, however we retain the right to protect our installations.
