Chief national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin provides details on confirmed reports of unidentified drones flying over U.S. military bases in December 2023.
When a sophisticated Chinese spy balloon floated over America in early 2023, lawmakers and the public were outraged at the Biden-Harris administration’s passivity and initial inclination to keep it quiet – only acknowledging the balloon after two civilian photographers forced their hand.
Now, the Wall Street Journal has broken news on an even more stupendous U.S. national security breach, reporting that drones flew over a sensitive nuclear weapons testing facility for three days last October and then, two months later, flew over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia for 17 straight nights while the Biden White House, and the military officers it promoted, dawdled and argued over what to do about it.
The swarms started on Dec. 7, 2023. Drones, some as large as 20 feet long, flew at night over the Air Combat Command headquarters with its squadrons of advanced F-22 Raptor fighters.
The blame-casting and responsibility-shirking reveal a dangerous pattern of hesitation and risk-averse decision-making.
As shown almost daily in Ukraine and Russia, those drones might have destroyed years’ worth of combat aircraft production. The drones also came close to the world’s largest naval port in Norfolk, and other key national security installations, including Navy SEAL Team Six’s base.
