Story of thwarted UAV attack on Transnistria looks strange. From media reporting seems that target was Grigoriopol Transmitter which was already severely damaged week ago. 1/3

Drone itself is DIY cheap Aliexpress style frame. Judging from photos total weight was at least 12kg. Batteries on photos would give around 20 min flight (depends on wind). Target is approx. 4 km from the border. That’s a very close call for an operator. 2/3
There was dropping mechanism implemented suggesting that drone was not suicide UAV (8 km flight with this setup is a challenge). Also payload looks very homemade rather than military grade.

Shocked to see verified accounts falling for this clickbait. Let’s have a critical look at source of “Russian coup” rumors 🧵:
Author of source article is Michiel Willems. He has two Twitter accounts @michielwil @NewsFromMichiel and works as digital editor at City AM. Image
City AM is free business oriented newspaper distributed among London commuters. It relies on advertisement and clicks on their website. Doesn’t mean it’s unreliable but it’s not exactly prime league of journalism. Image

🧵 on recently downed Russian Tachyon (Тахион) #UAV. It’s an old construction developed since 2012. Drone is mainly used for reconnaissance and fire guiding missions. Image
Drone entered service in 2014. It is used by ground forces of Eastern and Central Military District, as well as Navy. It was previously spotted (and downed) in Donbas area (2015). ImageImage
UAV is made by Limited Liability Company "IZHMASH" - UNMANNED SYSTEMS" based in Izhevsk. Town famous in Russia for UAV development. By the way - love the vintage website look, very 2005. izh-bs.ru Image
