airfield

The West Sussex airfield is currently Europe's busiest single-runway airport with more than 40 million passengers using it every year.

The latest surge in violence began immediately after the RSF overran an airfield that some isolated regular army troops had turned into a fortified base for their final stand in El Fasher.

Government troops made their last stand in the city of El Fasher, at an airfield that fell to an assault Monday by rebels armed with attack drones and pickup trucks mounted with machine guns.

"We need to destroy their airfields and their factories that produce these shells, bombs and missiles."

Once holidaymakers took off from here, but today an ex-Soviet airfield is a testing ground for ways to take down the drones increasingly buzzing through German skies.
