Washington-SANA
A foreign object that appeared to be a small unmanned aircraft intercepted US President Donald Trump's presidential plane and nearly collided with it as it approached an airport near Washington.
The American "Bloomberg" agency today quoted sources on board Air Force One as saying that the yellow and black plane appeared on the right side of the Air Force One and was seen by many of its passengers and that was shortly before the plane landed.
The agency said the Secret Service had not responded to a request to confirm the reports.
While it is difficult for aviation safety investigators to verify such transient events, it appears to be one of thousands of safety incidents involving unmanned vehicles in the United States that have led to calls by law enforcement and homeland security agencies for greater measures to rein in. Use it.
Under current federal regulations, drones are restricted to flying within sight of the operator and not exceeding 122 meters above the ground without any exceptions, noting that the most common models of these drones are equipped with programs specifically designed to prevent long-range flights.
