It's certainly a theory / narrative that keeps appearing in the media.
- heavyset_go 7mo agoThey were flying over military installations, if they were anyone else's drones, they would have been shot down like the weather balloons that spook the government from time to time.
- Orygin 7mo agoForeign drones surveilled a military base here and they didn't shoot any down. Maybe the US reacts differently, but in Europe most military bases have been scouted by Russian drones, and afaik none were shot down.
