One such Triton drone recently lifted off from Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates, operating under a discreet flight identity before sweeping across critical Gulf airspace. The drone’s path later extended toward Saudi Arabia and Iraq, reinforcing signs of coordinated regional monitoring.
