RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany -- Small unmanned aerial systems continue to be spotted in the vicinity of and over Royal Air Force Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, RAF Feltwell and RAF Fairford since Nov. 20.
To date, installation leaders have determined that none of the incursions impacted base residents, facilities or assets. The Air Force is taking all appropriate measures to safeguard the aforementioned installations and their residents.
The number of systems has fluctuated, and they have ranged in sizes and configurations. 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.
To safeguard operational security, we do not discuss specific force protection measures, however we retain the right to protect our installations.
We request individuals in the area to contact either local police or Security Forces if they see anything suspicious, to include sUAS's or drone activity.
