Army seeks masked thieves who lifted drones from base as Iran retaliation fears spike

 The Army is offering a fat reward for the capture of two thieves who stole drones from a base — amid fears of a possible Iranian drone strike on US soil.

The Army Criminal Investigation Division is offering a $5,000 reward for info leading to the arrest of the thieves who lifted the drones from Kentucky’s Fort Campbell in November.

The drones were stolen between Nov. 21 and 24, but officials didn’t reveal when they were discovered missing.

The drones were Skydio X10D systems — light, long-range quadcopters used for aerial surveillance and reconnaissance.

These use AI to avoid obstacles and can connect to 5G cellular networks, giving them nearly unlimited signal range, according to the Skydio website.

Officials also released images of two suspicious vehicles: a four-door sedan and a pickup truck.
