Mounting evidence indicates a Russian 'shadow fleet' operating off the Irish coast. Military experts warn that Irish airports could face serious disruption from a wave of escalating drone attacks and are currently defenceless against the threat. Potential impacts include airport closures, flight cancellations, and broader disruption to travel and logistics. The warning coincides with unidentified drones that closed five Danish airports last week. Danish prime minister Mette Frederiksen characterized those closures as part of an attempt "to shake the foundations of Europe." The convergence of maritime shadow activity and aerial drone incidents raises urgent aviation security and defense concerns.
