Russia air defenses have shot down a "Ukrainian" drone over Luga Bay, outside St. Petersburg, Russia. Intel claims "Launched from inside Estonia."
The location where the drone was shot down was over 1000km from Ukraine; but only 30km from Estonia.
Russia military and Intel agencies are now scouring all radar records and satellite imagery to determine with absolute fact where the drone was launched from.
If - as believed - the drone originated in Estonia, the unanimous viewpoint in the corridors of power inside Russia is that Russia will respond with SEVERE military force against Estonia. Estonia is a NATO member.
It has been clear for along time that NATO is "itching" to pick a direct fight with Russia. They may have just succeeded.
For quite some time, "Ukrainian" drones have been striking parts of Russia hundreds of miles BEYOND the travel limit of the drones themselves. It has been clear for over a year that some of these drone strikes against Russia, are originating from countries that border Russia.
Those are "acts of war."
Because this particular drone was shot down over water, there is now a very much greater likelihood the travel of the drone will be on various radar records; it's much easier to trace such air movements over water. IF this drone originated in Estonia, I suspect there won't be an "Estonia" much longer.
More as I get it . . . .
