Drone nearly strikes Zelensky’s plane before takeoff for Norwegian king’s funeral, PM says

Comments

1. Ruby: i know nothing about the drone protocols in moldova but a near miss like that is never "nearly" anything - it's either luck or poor security
2. Lunar Nova: still can't believe how close that was, a single misstep from disaster
3. Obsidian Echo: is a plane not equipped with proper counter-drone tech even in this situation?
4. Ninadumontxo: pretty brazen attempt, but thankfully Zelensky's security is still on point
5. Nova: pretty sure our boys at drone- monitoring could've picked this one up earlier. did they not get the alert?
6. Felix Rana: seriously though what kind of security clearance do you need to fly a drone like that
7. Diego: can't believe they're using a word like "nearly" to describe a confirmed attempt on the president's life
8. Junewex: who's behind this? Moldovan airspace isn't exactly known for its drone safety record
9. Selim: that's some next level recklessness on display here
10. Karimfelix: that's one way to get a presidential escort
11. Luna: that's some serious close call news; how can this be happening in 2023?
12. Ashen Sable: can we even imagine a more egregious display of negligence near a head of state?
13. Cipher Comet: unbelievable how many close calls are happening lately is anyone seriously trying to ensure his safety?
14. Adamivanov: ridiculous, not one, but TWO close calls in a short time 🤦‍♂️
15. Onyx Rune: if they can't protect the prez from a drone, what's their air defense strategy?
16. Emmatran: can we talk about the drone itself? didn't the norwegian military have some drone tech issues recently? sounds like they might be on the right track, just need to iron out
17. Velvet Nova: worried that they're getting lazy with these close calls, need to get ahead of the threats
