Does the US do this to Russian drones? Or, would that be escalation?

Shucks, we’ve sent billions of dollars worth of weaponry to Ukraine to help ruin Russia’s invasion and Russia has… GPS spoofed a drone that would have returned to its home base regardless.
Congrats Russia, ya’ll really dealt a massive blow to us. I don’t know how we will recover.

Estonian air force should do something about it, oh wait they would have to use surface to air because they don’t have any fighter jets! Just 2 Czech trainers, what a damn joke

Funny how Russia isn’t shitting their pants about USA nuking them and openly sabotages NATO countries in any way they can, but western politicians are constantly scared of “escalation”

And neither the US or Estonia cared

Last I checked Estonia was not in the US, they cannot seriously be sad about this

Can someone confirm that these planes have programming that allows them to return home even if GPS jammed? I would think that even something as simple as dead reckoning could get them close.

Proportional response, you say?

Russia is at war with us, whether we choose to accept it or not. Time to act like it

This is a lot energy Russia is spending talking about an aircraft that will be retired by 2027 because it’s obsolete.

Oh, is electronic warfare ok now?
I’m sure a stern letter will be sent.
Right after the US gave India American drone technology.
It seems like a good time to approve the long range strikes inside Russia. Violence is truly the only language they know so why not show them some?
