With less than 48 hours to go before the world witnesses the coronation of Britain’s King, Charles III, excitement and excitement are on the rise. Security, a factor of great importance, is guaranteed for the royal family, its more than 2,000 guests and the thousands of citizens who will take to the streets to not miss a single detail of this event, which will take place in Westminster Abbey .

Everything in security is tested. Since it is a monarch’s coronation ceremony, nothing is left undone. One possibility that has been analyzed and to which they have an answer is the attack with drones.

To avoid such disruption, Britain displays its shield: its most powerful warship.

From the imposing boat it will be possible to protect against events related to drones.

Security in London is being tightened. In fact, as of last Tuesday, May 2, they reported that a man had been arrested for throwing what police say were shotgun cartridges at Buckingham Palace.

The King’s shield stands guard on the Thames

From the waters of the River Thames, the supership HMS Diamond, a Type 45 destroyer, will keep watch.

About him, they point out that “he has incredible firepower and radars that can handle missiles and drones,” reports The Sun.

Radars – they add – “can detect and track inconspicuous cricket ball-sized targets at three times the speed of sound, from 250 miles away.”

In addition, “they can guide up to 16 missiles at once as they zigzag their way toward targets.”

The ship’s arrival in the waters of the Thames was known on 2 May. Through a video, the Royal Navy reported: “HMS Diamond sails up the River Thames to dock at Greenwich ahead of the coronation of Their Majesties, King Charles III and Queen Camilla.”

Superiority

According to The Sun, naval sources say all it takes is a “switch” to activate the air defense systems.

The 152-meter battleship can carry up to 48 Sea Viper missiles.

The 16-meter rockets are launched vertically from the ship’s foredeck.

They warn of arrests and there will be special cameras

Groups of protesters are also likely to erupt in view of the king’s coronation ceremony.

A chief of the Metropolitan Police admits, reports The Sun, “that the police officers will not be able to prevent the anti-monarchists from waving banners on the route of the procession on Saturday 6 May.

Citing Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan, they state that anyone suspected of criminal behavior “disguised as a protest” will be immediately arrested.

But he admitted: “Protesting is legal and the only time we can intervene is when it turns criminal.”

Due to the towering bill, 11,500 police officers will be on duty in central London. Remember the British media that it is the same number that protected the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth, who died on September 8, 2022.

The police response to events related to the coronation, dubbed Operation Golden Orb, is being led by the Met in a bombproof operations basement near Waterloo.

On May 6, the snipers will be in static positions.

Digging into details for the first time at a state event, “police will use live facial recognition cameras to try to identify suspects among the crowd wanted for criminal offenses.”
