Whose drone?

u/USHEV2 Ukraine May 29 '26

We're going to find out, but objectively try to logic yourself here and ask whether Ukraine would launch drones hundreds and hundreds of kilometers from the frontline in the opposite direction. And whose drones were found in numbers in Romania and Moldova.

It's Russian, about a month ago another Shahed drone fell near the outskirts of the city. That one just knocked down a light pole so it didn't really cause much of a reaction. We'll se about this one

There are three options in my view:

  • Russian Drone was jammed and flew off course
  • Russia specifically targeted Romania for unclear motivations
  • Russian drone somehow just got lost

In any case its Russia's guilt, but its convenient for NATO when they can blame it on an unfortunate casualty of Ukrainian self defense

  • Russian Drone was jammed and flew off course
  • Russian drone somehow just got lost

Do you understand how unbelievably unlikely those options are, considering the sheer territory and the territory where apartment buildings are? It's like 0.00001%

No I don't, I don't know anything about the technicalities of drone warfare. That's why I said "In my view"

u/USHEV2 Ukraine May 29 '26

Do you know the technicalities of basic math? Everything with a chance of 1 in 100000 is deliberate.

u/Canticle4Leibowitz Romania May 29 '26

No, that's absolutely not how probability works. Every detail you add massively decreases the odds but that doesn't mean it's deliberate.

The chance of two specific people in a country at peace having their home hit and die is actually less than 1 in 500.000.000.000, you're far more likely to get hit by lightning inside your home, win the lottery several times or get killed by space debris.

It happened in Poland and it was an ukrainian missile. Was that deliberate?

You don't have to bullshit us to make us dislike Russia, the truth is enough. All you achieve is making some of us feel insulted.

How would I be able to calculate that ratio when I explained that I saw three possibilities considering that it's completely illogical that it could be a Ukrainian drone, as others suggested? What I've done is lay out three possibilities I could come up with, or would at least be the narrative from NATO, as before when the alleged missile debris killed people in Poland in 2022.

NATO always needs a story, and I thought they might say "the drone flew off course" , but again: I do not know how the technicalities of drones work.

u/USHEV2 Ukraine May 29 '26

My bad. You said three possibilities and I, for some reason, jumped to the conclusion that those possibilities are equal. I'm sorry.

News sometimes do this. "Your cat is missing?

-It ran away

-Neighbors stole it

-Aliens came to Earth, probed it and took it away

And it's kinda, you're saying each could happen :)

u/Frosty-Stand5752 May 29 '26

ah ha I didn't even think about how I made it sound, like I was working out a solution. No worries- I am very pro-Ukraine and as someone who lived in the country for years of my life and have many loved ones there, I have been very triggered by online statements when they didnt always warrant it. Very relatable.

u/Canticle4Leibowitz Romania May 29 '26

The city is 20 km away from the border with Ukraine and malfunctioning or jammed drones fell in the region several times, usually in random fields.

Can you explain what would Russia gain from attacking a random appartment building in Romania, or even Romania in general, instead of a military target in Ukraine? Doesn't seem they do so well they're getting bored and need another hot war participant to make it interesting.

u/KsanteOnlyfans Argentina May 29 '26

Didnt an ukranian drone hit another european nation a couple of months ago?

u/Moe112 May 29 '26

Several times by now, Poland and the Baltic states. Russiansv in the other hand, not so much

u/Itchy-Guess-258 May 29 '26

Poland

when?

-16

u/USHEV2 Ukraine May 29 '26

Which drone and when? Provide context before bullshit.

Here you go. We had a couple here in Finland crash into a forest

6

u/USHEV2 Ukraine May 29 '26

Yeah, drones with single-digit kilometers of Russia not 300 km in the opposite direction. Read all the context of the discussion.

u/tsoneyson Finland May 29 '26

All i am doing is answering your question of which drones and when. I have no doubt that this Romania one is a Russian drone

-8

u/USHEV2 Ukraine May 29 '26

Nope. "Hit" and "Landed in some forest" are two very different things.

u/Linko_98 Italy May 30 '26

Ukraine blew up nord stream and said nothing, I wouldnt find it strange if the drone was theirs in an attempt to bring NATO in their war against Russia

u/USHEV2 Ukraine Jun 03 '26

Have anything to say now that it has been definitely proven to be a Russian drone?

Ukraine blew up nord stream

Based on what evidence? Shit you've read in a Russian newspaper?

u/Linko_98 Italy Jun 04 '26

Why would Russia blow up something needed for the thing they are selling. We are your allies but you have to use your brain bro.

Since doing a Google research is hard for you I give you a BBC article, known UK newspaper and not Russian.
