Summary
Unidentified drones were recently spotted over the US air base in Ramstein, Germany, and facilities belonging to German arms maker Rheinmetall, according to Der Spiegel.
Similar sightings occurred earlier in Brunsbüttel, with some officials suspecting Russian espionage, though no evidence has been confirmed.
The US Air Force stated the Ramstein base experienced “no impacts” and is monitoring the airspace with German authorities.
This follows reports of drone sightings in New Jersey and at UK air bases, which US authorities say do not currently pose a national security threat.
You can make anything look like a threat if you frame it correctly.
Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action–but this only applies if they’re related. Thousands of people are flying drones around all kinds of places every day.
Heuristics are hackable. If your heuristic is “once is happenstance” then your enemy can just conduct their operations once and you’ll never recognize it.z
