Operations at Makhachkala Airport in Russia were temporarily suspended under the “Carpet” plan due to a reported drone attack threat, highlighting rising concerns over aerial security.
(Dagestan ) – Operations at Makhachkala Airport in Russia’s Dagestan region were halted under a security protocol known as the “Carpet” plan, implemented in response to a perceived threat from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). According to Russian state media, the airport ceased operations until 11:30 AM following an alert about a possible drone attack.
The “Carpet” plan involves the suspension of all flights over the area as a precautionary measure. Russian media outlets claim the threat originated from a reported attempt to strike an object in nearby Kaspiysk using a drone. They allege that the UAV was intercepted and neutralized without causing injuries or damage. However, details remain sparse, and no independent verification of the claims has been provided.
The suspension of airport operations underscores increasing concerns about drone warfare and its impact on civilian and military infrastructure. Similar incidents have previously disrupted air traffic and raised questions about the effectiveness of existing countermeasures.
| Incident Details | Location | Response | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drone attack threat reported | Makhachkala Airport | Activation of “Carpet” plan | Airport operations suspended |
| Drone allegedly shot down | Kaspiysk | No injuries or damage | Heightened regional alert |
While Russia claims to have neutralized the threat, the recurring use of drones in conflict zones continues to challenge traditional security protocols. The temporary shutdown of Makhachkala Airport highlights how these evolving threats disrupt normal operations, even in areas removed from active battlefields.
