We\u2019ve had to deal with drone incursions over our bases for quite a time now. It\u2019s something that we routinely respond to in each and every case when reporting is cited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text \" data-index=\"10\">The spokesperson said military installations are able to \u201cdetect and respond\u201d to drones, and that security personnel are trained to identify them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text \" data-index=\"11\">So far, \u201cwe have no intelligence or observations that would indicate that they were aligned with a foreign actor or that they had malicious intent,\u201d the spokesperson also said in a transcript of a briefing shared on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text \" data-index=\"12\">\u201cWe have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus,\u201d the Department of Homeland Security said last Thursday. \u201cThe FBI, DHS and our federal partners, in close coordination with the New Jersey state police, continue to deploy personnel and technology to investigate this situation and confirm whether the reported drone flights are actually drones or are instead manned aircraft or otherwise inaccurate sightings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text \" data-index=\"15\">\u201cWe have not been able to, and neither have state or local law enforcement authorities, corroborate any of the reported visual sightings,\u201d John Kirby, a national security spokesman for the Biden administration, also said last week. \u201cTo the contrary, upon review of available imagery, it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text \" data-index=\"16\">Through a spokesman, U.S. Rep. Mike Turner, R-Dayton, who chairs the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, declined to discuss the subject last week before the reported sightings of craft over Wright-Patterson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text \" data-index=\"17\">A spokeswoman for the National Air and Space Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson also declined to comment last week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-text \" data-index=\"18\">Drones were seen over a U.S. air base at Ramstein in Germany earlier this month, a spokesperson for the U.S. Air Force told the Reuters news service. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async=\"\" defer=\"\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" class=\"optanon-category-4xOT\" type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v6.0\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daytondailynews.com\/local\/just-in-small-drone-shut-wright-patt-air-space-for-four-hours\/CXVGCHQQ4NANVPUOLTMFFBSFSQ\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSo far, our leadership has determined that none of the incursions impacted any of our residents, facilities or assets,\u201d Purtiman said. \u201cWe\u2019re taking all of that appropriate measures to safeguard &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=137780\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-137780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=137780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137780\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=137780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=137780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=137780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
