Report assesses Russia likely behind drone incursions over U.S. bases in England in late 2024

A report by the International Institute for Strategic Studies assesses it is highly likely Russia conducted a coordinated UAV campaign across Europe, including drone incursions over U.S.-used RAF bases in England in November 2024. The report suggests Russian-linked vessels may have served as launch/recovery platforms and discusses possible UAV types including the Orlan-10 and commercially modified systems, though attribution remains unconfirmed publicly.
