    These stories keep repeating and always with the same pattern: claims of drones appearing from nowhere, not attacking anything, not filming anything of actual value that can’t already be seen by satellites, all while the drones themselves are conveniently never caught on camera and never shot down so we don’t even get to see any debris.

    Were they even there at all? Was it all made up? Who knows. Sometimes we get “revelations” a few days later, either saying there was nothing there at all:

    or claiming it was just some European civilians (with no apparent connections to Russia whatsoever) having fun:

    In lieu of real evidence like video or photos, who knows how much of this is true and how much is just another part of the coordinated psyop being deployed to stir fear and panic among European populations and create consent for spending more money on weapons and escalating provocations against Russia.

    Either way the whole thing is dubious AF.

    If it was Russia, they wouldn’t have made it to Belgium without being spotted. Either they were put there by NATO to blame Russia, or it was just a random civillian and use it to blame Russia

    We do a little trolling

    Anyway kinda sus that so many military bases around Europe are being targeted.

    What makes it even weirder is that they seem to be of not important countries like Belgium, Denmark and Norway. Not exactly military heavyweights.

      During both world wars, there were regular mass panics, sightings of bombers etc in places where there were no enemy planes at all. But people swore they “saw” them. It’s either entirely fabricated or genuine mass psychosis caused by constant exposure to media fearmongering.

      Not exactly military heavyweights.

      And that’s why I bet these drones don’t even exist and are purely used to incite panic among people and justify social cuts
