Hi all,
Some sort of old USSSR / Russian drone fell (apparently when all fuel was spent) few km from my home... it flew over several NATO countries... things will get complicated...

Wow, Leo! They must have lost communications with it and lost guidance control.

How close are you?....GP
Brian, google maps shows that Zagreb is about 700km from the closest point of the Ukraine border, completely across the country of Hungary. That drone flew for a long time before it ran out of fuel.

Brian, I got Distant Worlds 2 installed and fired up yesterday. I only looked around a bit as I have a PBEM turn from Mike to get turned around first, but DW2 is beautiful visually!

I suspect they sacrificed it to try and get intel on western weapons transfers to Ukraine (routes and transfer points). Media reporters have mentioned that there a some areas bordering on Ukraine where they have not been allowed to go, so weapons transfer info is being kept secret.

The otter possible explanation can be it was a drone to lure out the Ukraine radars and SAMs...

I love Daylight Savings Time! The sun won't set until 7:30 this evening. I'll have lots of time after work every day for working outside on the property. I'd prefer to remain on DST permanently.
