"Fears raised amid mounting evidence of Russian 'shadow fleet' off Irish coast"
"Irish airports could face serious disruption from a wave of escalating drone attacks and are defenceless against the threat, military experts fear."
"The warning comes as unidentified drones closed five Danish airports last week, with prime minister Mette Frederiksen describing it as part of an attempt "to shake the foundations of Europe"."
Evidence points to a Russian 'shadow fleet' operating off the Irish coast. Military experts warn that Irish airports could face serious disruption from a wave of escalating drone attacks and that airports currently lack effective defences against such threats. Unidentified drones forced closure of five Danish airports last week. Danish prime minister Mette Frederiksen said the closures appeared to be part of an attempt "to shake the foundations of Europe". Concerns about maritime and aerial covert activity increase pressure on national security and aviation authorities to assess vulnerabilities and strengthen countermeasures.
