An aerial threat from Russia is plunging Britain’s showpiece summer sporting spectacular into a Game of Drones.
Security chiefs will use unmanned aircraft to guard against enemy drones at the Commonwealth Games, starting in Birmingham next month.
They will be used for air security at a major UK public event for the first time as fears grow over Russian operations here and a revived terror threat.
Intelligence chiefs believe drones are capable of bombing the event.
Spooks fear up to 50 of Vladimir Putin ’s spies are active in Britain and our support of Ukraine since Russia ’s invasion may make us a target.
