Does the US do this to Russian drones? Or, would that be escalation?
Shucks, we’ve sent billions of dollars worth of weaponry to Ukraine to help ruin Russia’s invasion and Russia has… GPS spoofed a drone that would have returned to its home base regardless.
Congrats Russia, ya’ll really dealt a massive blow to us. I don’t know how we will recover.
Estonian air force should do something about it, oh wait they would have to use surface to air because they don’t have any fighter jets! Just 2 Czech trainers, what a damn joke
Yet another “strongly worded” email was sent to russia to “please stop”.
Funny how Russia isn’t shitting their pants about USA nuking them and openly sabotages NATO countries in any way they can, but western politicians are constantly scared of “escalation”
And neither the US or Estonia cared
Last I checked Estonia was not in the US, they cannot seriously be sad about this
Can someone confirm that these planes have programming that allows them to return home even if GPS jammed? I would think that even something as simple as dead reckoning could get them close.
Proportional response, you say?
Russia is at war with us, whether we choose to accept it or not. Time to act like it
This is a lot energy Russia is spending talking about an aircraft that will be retired by 2027 because it’s obsolete.

Oh, is electronic warfare ok now?
I’m sure a stern letter will be sent.
Right after the US gave India American drone technology.
It seems like a good time to approve the long range strikes inside Russia. Violence is truly the only language they know so why not show them some?
They only have so much time before innovation and infrastructure renders their talking point null and void.
What’s important here is that Russia could actually do it. You’d think communications would be secure. If I were the Americans I’d be asking how this could happen cause it makes the drones useless.
HLC commented on this and said that this was a good thing. We now know where all those Russian EW assets are based.
Question, do all spy military aircraft just automatically jam others at all times? how do we (the world) always find out who jammed said radar or jet etc’s… systems?
Like is this an accident? or does russia probe and provocate as part of their day to day routines?
Sounds like both countries were trespassing on Estonian Airspace
