This paper focuses on secure communications in UAV-assisted wireless networks, which comprise multiple legitimate UAVs (LE-UAVs) and an intelligent eavesdropping UAV (EA-UAV). The intelligent EA-UAV can observe the LE-UAVs'transmission strategies and adaptively adjust its trajectory to maximize information interception. To counter this threat, we propose a mode-switching scheme that enables LE-UAVs to dynamically switch between the data transmission and jamming modes, thereby balancing data collection efficiency and communication security. However, acquiring full global network state information for LE-UAVs' decision-making incurs significant overhead, as the network state is highly dynamic and time-varying. To address this challenge, we propose a digital twin-enabled simultaneous learning and modeling (DT-SLAM) framework that allows LE-UAVs to learn policies efficiently within the DT, thereby avoiding frequent interactions with the real environment. To capture the competitive relationship between the EA-UAV and the LE-UAVs, we model their interactions as a multi-stage Stackelberg game and jointly optimize the GUs' transmission control, UAVs' trajectory planning, mode selection, and network formation to maximize overall secure throughput. Considering potential model mismatch between the DT and the real environment, we propose a robust proximal policy optimization (RPPO) algorithm that encourages LE-UAVs to explore service regions with higher uncertainty. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed DT-SLAM framework effectively supports the learning process. Meanwhile, the RPPO algorithm converges about 12% faster and the secure throughput can be increased by 8.6% compared to benchmark methods.
