Russian drones spied on European nuclear sites.

Der Spiegel

Russian drones have been spying on European nuclear facilities for months. Ships from the ‘Shadow Fleet’ are involved, especially in the North Sea. This is causing worry about the safety of important European sites.

A British think tank investigated drones seen over Dutch air bases. They found that the drones were likely launched from Russian ships. The think tank looked at reports from 13 European countries. They saw drones flying low and quickly leaving the area. This action is part of a plan to test NATO’s defenses and see how European countries would react.
