Australia’s defence department has defended the level of security at a key Sydney naval base after footage on Chinese social media appeared to show a public drone landing on a navy vessel.
The footage, understood to be several years old, was posted on social media site Weibo and appears to have been captured by a drone that flew above Australian warships – even landing on one – docked at Sydney’s Garden Island base.
