While officially unconfirmed,
the air base is widely believed to be the host to U.S. nuclear weapons under NATO’s nuclear sharing arrangements.
The base is also set to serve as the home to F-35 fighter jets beginning in 2027, Belga News Agency reported.
The incident comes amid a surge in mysterious drone sightings across European countries,
raising fears of Russian involvement in hybrid warfare and renewed concern about the alliance's security

Good Morning #Canada
Sunday mornings should include some relaxation, a good cup of coffee, and a tale of one man forging a legacy of independence. Today we present to you the story of American businessman Russell Arundel who, in 1949, claimed sovereignty over approximately 4 acres of Outer Bald Tusket Island, off the southern tip of Nova Scotia. After purchasing the island for $750, Arundel announced the principality of Outer Baldonia with its own charter, a flag, currency, passports, and an organized military that consisted of 69 fishermen (all Admirals). Citizens of the principality who caught a Bluefin tuna and paid a $50 fee were accorded the rank of prince. Government officials included Prince of Princes Russell Arundel, Chancellor Elson Boudreau, and Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary Ron Wallace. The Canadian government mostly ignored the farce but an official Russian communication declared Outer Baldonia a fascist state.
