-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Was there a Russian response to the alleged drones? Why the fuck did they fly into Poland to begin with?
Those were the cheapest drones built just to distract anti-air defenses, so I wouldn't be surprised if they just malfunctioned on their own or due to electronic warfare and went off course.
Could be that, could also be deliberate intelligence gathering. Probing response times and things like that.
Also possible. In fact, these possibilities are not exclusive.
Definitely, it would be a shame to waste a good opportunity
Belarus says the drones went astray for reason unknown, while a Russian deputate calls the matter a Western provocation. Russian officials have said that there were no targets in Poland, thus denying a deliberate flight.
I feel like Belarus was given the real line but Russia wants spooky ambiguity and not admitting their drones have been borked by electronic countermeasures this successfully in an attack
