Counterpoint: Civilians get arrested all the time for flying FPV drones and similar over military bases. See this article for an example: https://www.military.com/daily-news/2024/12/11/chinese-citizen-arrested-after-allegedly-flying-drone-taking-photos-of-space-force-base.html

This is the US military we're talking about. They have the capabilities to know exactly what's above their base's airspace and have still chosen to do nothing. This implies that most of the drones are military controlled.

They may be making a PR decision to issue warnings rather than actually arrest people.

I don't see anything in the article that suggests they know drones have gone above their bases but not been identified or dealt with.

I think the reference to not being able to identify everything is in reference to civilian reports.
