Swindon man denies plot to sabotage UK drone factories for Russia
Joshua Cammidge, a 31-year-old from Swindon, has pleaded not guilty to charges of assisting a foreign intelligence service and planning sabotage. Prosecutors allege he researched four drone manufacturing sites in Wiltshire and offered to destroy them on behalf of a British national fighting for Russia in Ukraine. The case stems from alleged communications with Aiden Minnis, linked to the GRU Volunteer Corps, and follows a period of heightened tensions regarding UK drone exports to Ukraine.
