Stray drone from Ukrainian war crashes in Croatia carrying bomb, official says

A military drone that apparently flew all the way from the Ukrainian war zone over three European NATO-member states before crashing in an urban zone of the Croatian capital was armed with an explosive device, Croatia’s defense minister said Sunday.

The Soviet-made aircraft crossed Romania and Hungary before entering Croatia, slamming into a field near a student dormitory late Thursday. About 40 parked cars were damaged in the large explosion, but no one was injured.

That drone would have to be 30 years old to have been made by the Soviet Union...

??? I don't know much about drones nor the Soviet Union -- why 30 years old @DB ?
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

The Soviet Union was no more after 1991.

Accident?  Doubtful.  I look for Putin to invade nearby NATO countries.  He is coming very near Poland. I believe he already has the support of the ME and China and I do believe we will see WW III -- I think it's inevitable. Certainly the U.S. is at an all time low and Putin knows it. It is China that I have always seen as a huge concern.  IF both XI and Putin work in concert, we are sunk, not to mention all those from the ME already in our country.  Our allies will be too busy trying to defend their own countries.

Russia is 1/20 or 5% of the size of our economy. They are no direct economic threat. If Putin isn't careful China is going to own Russia.

  • I don't believe in Trump anymore, he's an illusion
I say it was done by the CIA, Biden and the democrats dearly need a war and have been trying everything they can. Also I believe the CIA would love for us to be in a war again too, lots of money flows in a war.

If it lost communications or had a hardware failure I could have simply flown until it ran out of gas.
