It’s probably so they can push even stricter drone laws than planned,

What better way for them to do it than have someone disrupt air travel at a major UK airport right before Christmas and then this person/people can’t be found.

It’s really dodgy because I know for a fact that they could trace the drone location and the location of the controller via GPS. We use that technology on our mine sites to monitor unauthorised drone use. Sure you could probably hack it but you’d still be able to follow the drone back to it’s home location. Not to mention there is drone jamming tech out there that is used at major music festivals here. Also you have radar, lidar and a whole host of tech that could spot it.

It’s incredibly hard to fly a drone of any description without being traced unless you are using military grade hardware/software and even if that was the case what would be the point of just popping it up to disrupt air traffic? You’d think a bigger, more ‘effective’ goal would be persued if it was someone malicious. Too many things don’t add up in the information being released.
