Germany's Der Spiegel magazine said drones were also seen over facilities belonging to the Rheinmetall arms maker. It comes after US authorities said there was no evidence of a threat over drone sightings in New Jersey.

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.

        (As for the perfidious Albion… as much as I despise that witch at least she didn’t pull a brexit on them… luckily I ain’t afflicted with being British, so I’m not up to date with the extent to which they are fucked, but from outside things are looking about as bleak as when she was infesting the place, though thanks to brexit the effects seem to be more contained to the isles, at least…)
