🇩🇬 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Drone Sightings Are Happening At Diego Garcia, America’s Remote Strategic Island Outpost

The sightings highlight concerns about drone attacks from the sea, especially at a time of extreme hostility between Iran and the U.S.

Drones of an unknown origin were reportedly sighted over the remote joint U.S.-U.K. Diego Garcia installation located deep in the Indian Ocean. As we have frequently reported, this island base has long been a highly strategic operating location for the U.S. military. Beyond its large airfield that has been an epicenter of bomber operations over the decades, it plays many roles for the Pentagon. These include hosting Space Force operations, serving as a key port for U.S. Navy vessels, including nuclear submarines, and its lagoon provides shelter for a Sealift Command Prepositioning Ship Squadron.

The installation was targeted by Iranian ballistic missiles during the Epic Fury operation, but the threat posed by drones is even more plausible for the island outpost, especially at this extremely tense time as the standoff between the U.S. and Iran grinds on.

The issue of reported drones over Diego Garcia highlights a plausible threat of sea-launched drones that TWZ has been drawing attention to for years now. It also again raises concerns about the danger to critical infrastructure and aircraft parked in the open at Diego Garcia and many other U.S. installations. This is another issue TWZ has been highlighting for years.

“We are aware of reported sightings of drones (UAS) over Diego Garcia,” the U.K. Defense Ministry (MoD) told us Monday morning. “We are unable to provide any details about a situation which may affect the security or operation of the joint U.K.-U.S. base on Diego Garcia.”

“The U.S. and U.K. Commanding Officers on Diego Garcia consider and implement appropriate measures to ensure the security and safety of the base and the safety of the personnel on the island,” MoD added.

🇩🇬 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Amid reports that Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean has imposed a curfew for U.S. and UK Servicemembers, due to the possible threat of unidentified drones seen flying recently near the base fuel farm, the Facebook group “Air Force amn/nco/snco” has published the hours of operation for a number of base amenities during the curfew, which begins every night until further notice at 1800.

Hope it’s clear lol

There are more connections to DUMBS further away, but it would be blurry to zoom out more
