Yes, everything can be. Remember how Israelis are here, etc. UAVs were advertised when Azerbaijan popped up against Armenia .. Like, here it is a tactic ...
And now these UAVs in Ukraine are cracking like nuts every day and they do not affect the course of Russia's hostilities mainly ...

It’s a pity that he didn’t reach the base, but there he would have fallen to the control center, or he would have dived on his brother.

They "helped" lose the GPS contact, or maybe they broke the sensor a little ...

Russia is armed with powerful electronic warfare equipment. For example Khibiny. It is possible that our tried. There was a story with the American ship Donald Cook, from which all the sailors quit after being exposed to our Drying. In the end, it's time to give back, and not swallow endlessly.

It is possible that our tried.

I myself believed in these stories until February 24th.

Ask about tales from retired servicemen after the flight of our reb

[KCA]

Khibiny does not have enough power to put out the electronics on the destroyer, it has already been written 100500 times that Cook's crew laid bricks after being irradiated by the Bastion DBK guidance radar

He didn't put off anything. Spent three weeks at sea and left. The next one came. Then Cook again

[igorbrsv]

And what's the difference? The result is one. The servants quit. Electronics was out of order

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

He flew backwards - that's where he fell.

You have incomplete information, there another half of the officers jumped overboard, and the commander was so scared that he is still in a psychiatric hospital ...

Well, in principle, it was possible. But we rely on facts. The ship sailed quickly

So maybe this airbase should be "accidentally" incinerated?

According to anyone, he flew to the Black Sea, minus $ 30 million.

Two tourists are sitting on a hill near the town of Kympia-Turziy, admiring the beauties. One, seeing the Reaper flying in the sky, asks the other:
- Listen, P., will that drone fly to the base?
- This? This one will fly, - the second confidently answers him.
- And if so? - clicking the toggle switch on the remote control, B. is interested.
- So? It will still fly.
- And if like this: click-click-click. Will it fly?
- Well, if so, then now it will definitely fly, but it would be better if it didn’t fly ... What, did it click?! Get out of here quickly!
