A silent theft has shaken Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Four advanced Skydio X10D drone systems vanished from the 326th Division Engineer Battalion building last November, and the Army is now urgently seeking the public’s help to identify those responsible.
These aren’t simple recreational drones; the Skydio X10D is a sophisticated piece of military technology. It’s designed with a modular payload capability, allowing for a variety of specialized missions – a capability recently demonstrated when the Army successfully deployed a live grenade from the drone during training exercises in Germany.
The theft occurred between November 21st and 24th, 2025, with unknown individuals gaining unlawful access to Building 6955 on A Shau Valley Road. Surveillance photos have now been released, hoping someone recognizes a crucial detail or suspicious activity.
The Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division is offering a substantial reward of $5,000. This isn’t just about recovering equipment; it’s about ensuring this technology doesn’t fall into the wrong hands and compromise national security.
The timing of this announcement is particularly sensitive. Just one day before the news broke, the FBI issued a bulletin warning California police departments about a potential threat of drone attacks originating from Iran, raising concerns about the vulnerability of critical infrastructure.
Investigators are hoping that someone, somewhere, holds the key to unlocking this case. Any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators could be worth a significant reward and contribute to safeguarding future operations.
