The International Institute for Strategic Studies concludes Russia orchestrated a coordinated UAV campaign from offshore 'shadow fleet' vessels over roughly 18 months, targeting nuclear bases and sensitive sites in the UK, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Ireland. Drones were spotted near US bases like RAF Lakenheath and France’s Île Longue, with launch and recovery tied to dark sailing ships that kept transponders off.
