Unidentified drones overfly Toulon naval base for four nights, evading defenses

Unidentified drones repeatedly overflew the French naval base at Toulon over four consecutive nights, penetrating airspace despite heightened defenses during the concurrent Typhoon exercise. The incident exposes a gap in base defense against small drone threats and raises questions about the origin and intent of the incursions. The French Navy's failure to intercept or identify the drones is a significant security lapse at a strategic nuclear submarine and carrier homeport.
