According to Marc Sleboda this supposed Russian drone incursion is pretty much hype. They seem to have been Gerbera drones which are lightweight jobs largely used as decoys, only able to bear the lightest of kit for offensive purposes. He says they could have been false flag and also says Ukraine press has been saying it had something to do with at least some of them,
Russia has not owned up to ownership of the drones and the US has not commented. Even Nato itself has been cold on it. But countries keen to promote their own interest in escalation or sabre rattling have been the ones driving it.
He also highlights Poland’s support for Ukraine vs Russia, hence the usual sensationalist Youtube headline. He also thinks these drones could not have reached Ukraine from Russia, but could have come from adjacent Ukraine.
On a media-oriented note, seems that UK still influential in the India press - or it could be that giveaway “With inputs from Reuters”

According to Larry Johnson, those drones cannot fly far enough to have be launched from Russian controlled territory. Their flying distance is short by about 300km.
Made from polystyrene. They were also wrapped with ducting tape. I’ve seen the russian factory.where they are produced. The only ducting tape roll in the building will be in the maintenance engineers toolbox.
Several of the RussiaDunnit incidents humourously debunked by Sleboda, four days later are still being advanced by the warmonger du jour on the BBC. Some talking head from a war studies institute. Even the BBC presenter was skeptical - asked do we know who sent the drones? No we don’t, was the reply. “We shouldn’t jump to conclusions”. But that was exactly what he had done - he had just said this showed that Russia was likely to attack other countries. You could see his pants, even though it was on the radio - Lol.
I gather today it has been swarms of drones over Denmark. (Stars Of The Lid song title right there.) Didn’t bother clicking past the headline but a flick thru the curated feeds suggested that, yes, the war drums are rattling.
