Russia’s UAV Campaign Over Europe.

🚨 #Russia likely used shadow ships to launch drones over #Europe that repeatedly disrupted civilian aviation, as it monitored #military sites & tested the air #defenses of #NATO nations, acc/to a report published Thursday by the #IISS think tank.

The report, which was shared before publication with AP, plotted 144 suspected drone sightings across Europe, including in NATO members #Germany, #France, #Belgium, the #Netherlands, the #UK, & #Denmark, between 2024 & 2026.

molte cose da leggere oggi: Sabrina Provenzani sui piani #truppe in #Ucraina secondo l'analisi del think tank #IISS. Da notare che il think tank #IISS ha tra i suoi trustees l'ex capo della #CIA, John Brennan, di cui Wash Post chiese dimissioni per sue bugie

quando ho letto gli articoli di oggi dei colleghi #CarloDiFoggia e #MarcoPalombi sui dati falsi sulla #SpesaMilitare EU e Russia, ho pensato: magari è una questione complessa e altamente tecnica, da qui l'errore dell'#IISS. E invece no: come possono aver fatto quell'errore?

Good article, don't only focus on progress from Ukraine at the frontlines, it's hard and limited. But also look at the "deep battle" that is being waged.
