It is suspected that Iran is planning to attack a US B-1 bomber deployed at Royal Air Force Base in Fairford, England, which reveals weak points in British defense: the country's air base is far from being resistant to drone attacks. US officials said they have obtained intelligence that Iran plans to use drones and other devices to attack this batch of bombers, then more than 10 B-1 bombers were evacuated from Fairford base in an emergency. Last month, five men were arrested in woodland next to the Fairford base on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack, and related concerns have intensified. After the plane was evacuated from the Fairford base, Trump told reporters earlier this week: “We anticipate a potential threat, so why should I leave the fighter in place?” Whether Iran is capable of carrying out this attack is uncertain, but this incident shows that technological progress and changes in the pattern of warfare are disrupting long-standing combat ideas.
