Fighter Jets Scrambled After Unidentified Aircraft Enters NATO Airspace
The Quick Reaction Alert was activated after an unidentified aircraft entered Dutch airspace, with drones increasingly spotted at military sites across Europe, officials said.
- On Sunday, two Royal Netherlands Air Force fighter jets were scrambled from Volkel military base, a NATO base, after an unidentified aircraft entered Dutch airspace.
- The Ministry of Defence said the reason is unclear, suggesting it could have been a drone, passenger plane, or unmanned aerial vehicle, about two weeks after multiple drones were spotted over Volkel Air Base.
- Air Force personnel deployed weapons as the objects evaded recovery, and the Ministry of Defence said it alternates alerts with Belgium, covering the entire Benelux region.
- Rising drone sightings have led to more frequent Quick Reaction Alert activations, with drones increasingly appearing at airports and military installations across several European countries, raising airspace security concerns.
- The Ministry triggered a Quick Reaction Alert after an unidentified aircraft entered Dutch airspace without proper identification; because the objects were not recovered, the intrusion remains unresolved following recent drone sightings.
