Thursday, May 21Thursday, May 21The Austrian Air Force has scrambled Eurofighter Typhoon Tranche 1 fighter jets on at least two occasions in recent days to intercept U.S. Air Force (USAF) U-28A Draco special operations aircraft that entered Austrian airspace without authorization. The incidents occurred on Monday, 11 May 2026, and again within 48 hours, prompting Austria to deploy its Eurofighters to force the unauthorized aircraft to turn back. The Austrian government has publicly denounced these intrusions, with reports confirming the use of Eurofighters in the interceptions .
The intercepted aircraft are believed to be USAF U-28A Draco variants, a modified Pilatus PC-12 used for special operations and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. The repeated unauthorized entries into Austrian airspace have raised diplomatic concerns, with Austrian authorities emphasizing the need for prior coordination for such flights . No further details on the specific mission or intent of the U-28A aircraft have been disclosed.
