Yes, a small little cheap drone that the woman thinks burglars were using to scope out empty apartments by coming up to the balconies and checking through the windows and doors.
“Elena told the outlet that she was sitting on her balcony smoking just before dawn when she heard a buzzing noise and saw something floating.
At first she thought it was a bird, but then she realised it was something else, she said.
The nearest heavy thing was a jar of pickles under her chair, per Elena’s account.
Per Liga.Life, Elena was most concerned with correcting claims that the pickled vegetables were cucumbers. She said they were actually tomatoes with plums.
“I don’t know where the fables about cucumbers came from,” she said.
The outlet said that Elena broke up the wrecked drone and and puts its remains in separate trash cans for fear that it could still be running tracking or recording software.
It was not clear who was operating the drone. Her description does not match the types of heavy, military drone used to launch weapons, but would fit a smaller commercial drone meant mainly to record images.
Elena told Liga.Life that she thinks the drone was being operated by looters trying to identify empty homes to steal from.
Afterwards, she told the outlet, she swept the street of debris so that dogs on the street wouldn’t cut their paws.”
Thanks for the full description.
This sounds believable. I know very little about drones, and the typical variations for commercial use.
So the smaller lighter models would likely be used in this case.
It makes sense that wannabe looters would want to take a peek on what exists inside apparently abandoned homes. All countries have their Looter Classes, lurking in the shadows.
Sure, everyone stores their pickles under their chairs on the balcony.
Who doesn’t keep jars of tomatoes with plums on their balcony?
Who cans tomatoes with plums?
Which one of her servants cleaned up the mess?
