A former British intelligence officer has warned that the threat of drone attacks on the UK is “high and growing on a daily basis.” In an interview with The Sun, the officer stated that it is “only a matter of time” before terrorists or rogue states such as Russia or Iran use drones to carry out attacks on UK targets. The warning comes amid increased global concerns over the use of drones for malicious purposes.
The officer highlighted the ease with which drones can be deployed and the difficulty in detecting them, making them a growing concern for national security. While no specific targets have been named, the remarks suggest a heightened awareness of the potential for drone-based threats. Intelligence agencies are reportedly working to enhance surveillance and countermeasures to address this evolving risk.
The comments follow recent reports of drone activity in conflict zones, raising alarms about the potential for such technology to be used in attacks on civilian infrastructure or government facilities. Experts are urging continued investment in counter-drone technology and intelligence gathering to mitigate the risk. The situation remains under close scrutiny as the threat continues to evolve.
