The United Kingdom will review the country’s air safety, after the recent discovery of alleged spy balloons flying over the American continent, The Telegraph newspaper reported.
British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace has announced that the UK, US and other partners will work together to review security and analyze the danger posed by balloons.
The review will be used to decide whether changes to the surveillance of British airspace are necessary, the official told the newspaper.
“The UK and its allies will review what these airspace intrusions mean for our security. This development is another sign of how the global threat landscape is changing for the worse,” Wallace said.
Members of the British Parliament have already warned that the balloons may have flown over British territory, a possibility the Defense Ministry has refused to rule out.
On Sunday, US President Joe Biden ordered the shooting down of an unidentified flying object “as a precautionary measure”, and various military sources, cited by international organizations, guaranteed that the action of this object, still to be identified, would not present no terrestrial threat.
The downed flying object is the third in three days, after two others have crashed in North American airspace, one over Alaska and one in Canada, to which is added another larger one and presumably of Chinese origin.
