#2I mean, why would Ukraine launch a drone westwards, anyway?
More likely the Russians are using old hardware, because the new stuff was all propaganda and doesn’t actually work - and has supply chain dependencies in the west, and can’t be replaced.

South-westwards(?), more than 500km in the wrong direction. But accidents do happen, of course.

#5It's supposedly a Tu-141, a 80's reconnaissance drone supposedly used by both Russia and Ukraine.
edit: Not in active use by Russia, retired 1989 (however it is likely Russia still posses them).

As far as I can tell Russia doesn't use them anymore only Ukraine does, however it's war and who knows what attics/basements they are cleaning out.

#9Rogue drone flew off on its own?
I recall in Afghanistan US had fighters whose job it was to shoot down drones in that had flown off course and couldn’t be corrected / controlled.
Kinda wild to have a rouge robot patrol…
