An American MQ-9 Reaper drone that fell the day before was discovered in Poland

In Poland, the military is investigating the circumstances of the crash of a US Air Force MQ-9 Reaper reconnaissance drone. According to the General Command of the country's armed forces, the device made an emergency landing in northwestern Poland.

The loss of contact with the American unmanned aerial vehicle became known yesterday. Moreover, the day before it was reported that the “reaper” was smashed to pieces. However, judging by the statement of the Polish side, the situation looks somewhat different.



After 23 p.m., in the vicinity of Mirosławiec, a U.S. military unmanned aerial vehicle made an emergency landing while flying in Polish airspace.

– says a statement from the General Command of the Polish Armed Forces.

They emphasize that the landing took place “in accordance with procedures” in a “cordoned off uninhabited area.” However, the sparse official wording only adds vagueness to the story of the strange fall of an American reconnaissance UAV.

The day before, for example, some military experts unequivocally hinted that the reason for the fall of the MQ-9 Reaper was the work of Russian electronic warfare systems, due to which the Baltic region has recently regularly experienced interruptions in the GPS signal.

The Polish military emphasizes that an investigation is currently underway to establish the exact reasons for the emergency landing of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

    One? It's a pity that I'm alone.
    Apparently, the Russian military has successfully “mastered” the “emergency landing” of American drones.

    Yes, it’s high time to ground their drones with electronic warfare.
    And to answer all the complaints - I don’t know what it is, maybe your electronics are just faulty, that’s why it burned out.

      These are all magnetic, solar and other storms. But every storm has a title winked

        That's right. What did Al Pacino say?

        I used to pray to God to give me a bike, then I realized that it works differently, so I stole the bike and prayed that they wouldn’t find me.

        There is no need to whine about how bad the Americans are, that they fly and spy, we need to plant them carefully and quietly, and then make claims to them that they are leaving their rusty junk next to us and ruining the environment.

    How could he sit down properly? Are they also equipped with an autopilot for landing? So the “airfield” should be familiar, otherwise the landing is simply “hard”, a cake.

      This is from the traditions of military department messages. As an example, the RF Ministry of Defense states that the large landing craft was damaged, but they do not say that it was completely destroyed. “Received damage” does not exclude destruction, which in the departmental understanding is “saving face” and avoiding clearly negative reactions..
