A suspected Iranian plot to attack prized U.S. B-1 bombers housed at Britain’s RAF Fairford exposed an Achilles’ heel in U.K. defenses: its air bases are far from drone-proof.
美国官员称,情报显示伊朗正策划使用无人机和其他装置袭击这些战机,随后12架B-1轰炸机被紧急调离费尔福德。
A dozen B-1 bombers were abruptly flown out of Fairford after U.S. officials said they had intelligence that Iran was plotting to target them with drones and other devices.
上月,五名男子在费尔福德附近的树林中被捕,涉嫌策划恐怖袭击,这进一步加剧了人们的担忧。
Fears spiked after five men were arrested in the woods next to Fairford last month on suspicion of plotting a terrorist attack.
