Explained in plain English

Why are drones a threat?

Small drones, while often used for recreation, can be weaponised or used for surveillance, posing a significant security risk to military bases, airports, and other critical infrastructure. Their small size and low flight altitude make them difficult to detect with traditional radar. This is why Norway is investing in specialised C-UAS technology to protect its new F-35 fleet.
