British
sovereign airspace has been used by top secret US drones, according to
the Ministry of Defence (MoD). On three occasions in the past month, an
unarmed Global Hawk reconnaissance aircraft, which cost around £130
million each, flew through UK airspace as part of a NATO exercise.
The US Air Force has deployed
two of its most advanced military Global Hawk drones in their base in
northern Japan. The purpose of unmanned vehicles is closely-guarded
secret but their characteristics make them capable of spying on China
and North Korea.
