US EditionSophisticated Drones Attacked Louisiana's Barksdale Bomber Base
Swarms of 12 to 15 long-range drones disrupted B-52 sorties for nearly a week, revealing gaps in U.S. counter-drone defenses during Operation Epic Fury, officials said.
- Between March 9 and 15, 2026, waves of 12 to 15 unauthorized drones repeatedly breached security at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, forcing operational pauses at the nuclear-capable installation.
- Barksdale serves as the command hub for the Air Force Global Strike Command, hosting nuclear-capable B-52 Stratofortress bombers central to the United States' nuclear triad.
- BAFB Security Forces observed drones displaying non-commercial signal characteristics and resistance to jamming, with internal briefings indicating devices required "advanced knowledge of signal operations."
- These incursions forced base personnel into shelter-in-place orders, yet the U.S. military reportedly lacked effective technology to identify or counter the swarms during the week-long event.
- Experts argue these events necessitate modernized homeland defense approaches, as current frameworks suffer from unclear jurisdictional authority among the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and the Pentagon.
