The United States hastily withdrew bombers from the British RAF Fairford air base over the weekend due to a possible threat of an attack by Iranian drones. The New York Times reported this, according to which members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards allegedly ordered the attack. kultura.pravda.sk ↗
According to available information, a squadron of twelve B-1 strategic bombers was evacuated from Fairford. Security forces intervened in the immediate vicinity of the base, which heightened concerns about a possible terrorist attack aimed at the aircraft and American personnel. Refresher.sk ↗
The planned attack was reportedly intended to destroy the bombers and kill Americans. According to the findings of the American newspaper, the plan was inspired by Ukrainian operations in which drones were used against military targets. However, available information does not indicate that an attack on the base or the bombers actually took place. ta3.com ↗
Fairford is one of the important bases used by the American air force in Europe. The United States deploys strategic bombers there as part of its military presence and exercises in the region. Their withdrawal is therefore a security measure in response to a specific threat, not confirmation of an attack that took place.
American authorities have not yet disclosed further details about the suspected plan, its organizers, or any further deployment of the bombers. Further developments will depend on the investigation and the assessment of the security situation at the base.
