'Australia’s most significant tactical fighter jet defence hub – Williamtown RAAF base – saw a barrage of drones breach its airspace [between 11-13 July] with personnel told to close the blinds to protect sensitive information. 'It is understood the Australian Defence Force does not know who was operating the drones or why they were operating in no-fly zones. 'The aircraft were not shot down using anti-drone weaponry during the incursions, and reports of the drones were issued to NSW Police Counter-UAS Unit, which is understood to be investigating. 'RAAF Base Williamtown is one of the most strategically significant defence installations in Australia, housing the nations most advanced stealth combat aircraft, the F-35A Joint Strike Fighters, as well as the E-7A Wedgetail'. I have similar concerns re Garden Island. https://archive.md/heNtX
