A small number of unidentified drones have been sighted over RAF bases in the UK, including RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, and RAF Feltwell, between November 20 and 22. The US Air Force confirmed the sightings but could not determine if the drones were hostile.

A small number of unidentified drones have been spotted flying over several Royal Air Force (RAF) bases in the UK, including RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, and RAF Feltwell. These sightings occurred between November 20 and 22. The US Air Force, which has fighter jets on standby at the bases, confirmed the sightings and said it remains unclear if the drones were hostile.

The drones were actively monitored, and the base leadership determined that none of the incursions affected base residents or critical infrastructure. Unconfirmed reports suggest that F-15E Strike Eagles were scrambled to chase the drones, which disrupted flight operations at the base
