Kremlin suspected of flying drones over Europe using Russian shadow fleet
摘要
英国智库国际战略研究所的最新报告指出，2024年8月至2026年2月间，欧洲多国出现144起疑似与俄罗斯关联的无人机目击事件，其中48%发生在军事基地上空，26%涉及港口、能源等关键基础设施，18%出现在民用机场。报告利用船舶自动识别系统数据发现，这些事件发生时，俄关联商船及运输受制裁石油的“影子舰队”船只常出现在附近。报告认为，这可能是克里姆林宫利用商业船
Mysterious drone flights that disrupted major European airports and flew over NATO member military bases hosting US nuclear weapons may be the work of a coordinated Kremlin campaign launched from Russian-linked commercial ships.
That recent assessment from the UK-based International Institute for Strategic Studies used automatic identification system (AIS) maritime tracking data and other publicly available data to show how Russian-linked ships and “shadow fleet” vessels that transport sanctioned Russian oil were often located nearby during various drone incidents. The report suggests that the drone incidents—which impacted a dozen NATO member countries and Ireland between August 2024 and February 2026—also revealed the vulnerability of European air defenses against surveillance and harassment incursions by low-cost drones.
The IISS report identified 144 drone sightings over Europe during that time period that were unlikely to involve hobbyist recreational drones or drone activity related to the war in Ukraine. About 48 percent of the sightings took place over military bases, 26 percent happened over critical infrastructure such as ports and energy or industrial facilities, and 18 percent occurred over civilian airports. Most occurred at night or in the early morning hours before sunrise, and the drones themselves were typically described in media reports as resembling “professional” or “military-style” drones.
