I’m just making a note on this story because it seems to align with other events in the ongoing Ukraine vs Russia narrative assembly, recently discussed.
The initial story, usually the most accurate {source}, stated that at an area within the Leipzig/Halle Airport complex in Germany, a small tour group noticed a drone flying low to the ground in/around the area where cargo planes are located. Leipzig is used by NATO as a cargo airport to deliver weapons.
The driver of the bus got out, pushed the drone to the ground and called airport authorities to notify them. The drone was located near the area where two Ukrainian Antonov aircraft were located. The airport houses two Ukraine Antonov aircraft not being used, and three Russian Antonov’s’ grounded and stored since EU sanctions.
The drone was a quadcopter type, with limited distance capabilities. Inspection of the drone revealed it carried 800 grams of explosive material and a faulty detonator. The drone was taken into custody by airport authorities.
As the initial report was made the airport triggered standard security practices rerouting cargo planes. A rerouted DHL cargo carrier then encountered another drone about 400 meters in altitude, which hit the nose of the plane. The plane diverted to Hannover and landed without issue.
This quadcopter drone at Leipzig Airport happens on the same day that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy accused Russia of attacking a street vendor in Kherson, Ukraine, with an almost identical drone.
Today, many were shocked by yet another video of the drone “safari” Russians are carrying out against civilians in Kherson. A Russian drone deliberately hunted down a man selling vegetables and detonated right next to him. The Russians even admitted to the crime, showing zero… pic.twitter.com/uGjC7esFwR

Remarkably, the guy in the video above is ok, he suffered minor (non-penetrating) injuries.
This Russia attack narrative just doesn’t pass the smell test. First, why would Russia care about a guy at a street market in Kherson? Second, the quadcopter drone operator has to be close to the event in order to fly the drone and detonate the payload.
AIRPORT DRONE – The area of the airport in Leipzig, Germany, is unused and there’s no way this quadcopter drone flew all the way into this area from Russia. Again, likely someone had to be close to the operation, or if remote operated from a distance they would have to deliver it somewhere close to launch it.
It is fair to say we are in an information war and increasingly it is impossible to tell which side is carrying out the activity.
In the airport drone incident, despite the claims of the EU attributing the origin to Russia, there is no substantive value for Russia in such an action. Simultaneously, when looking at the promotion of the Kherson attack by Zelenskyy there’s something odd about his statement, “The world must see this. It must see every piece of evidence that Russia has gone mad and that its soldiers take pleasure in killing and abusing civilians. Without pressure on Russia, the dismantling of its capacity for aggression, and real security guarantees, it is simply impossible to imagine the world being able to coexist with this evil.”
Obviously, there is not enough information to make any definitive statements about origination, targeting or intent. However, overall, there is a pattern of desperation evident in the position of Ukraine since mid-June (London visit) which could indicate an effort to create circumstances to pull NATO ever closer to joining military activity against Russia directly.
German authorities are investigating what appears to have been an attempted explosive drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport after a drone carrying an explosive device was discovered near Ukrainian cargo aircraft, according to BILD.

Ukraine/cia
Someone needs to give that midget the Novichok tx
Given all that we’ve witnessed in as many years, I’m more of the opinion that MI6 keeps a stash on hand for reasons.
Reminds me.
Anyone still remember that Russian expatriate that was poisoned with polonium 210?
Who’s to say that was not sourced from a Russian built Ukrainian nuclear reactor.
Some things just Drone on and on!
Wheres Wordman? That’s who I thought of with your comment.
Wow this total BS Ukrainian drone PR stunt screams desperation by the little coke head nazi. Hopefully his own Ukrainian citizens will end him sooner rather then later
Well remember his piano skills as well – the song title is “dickus keys adaigo”
Desperation and sloppiness.
One of these times someone is going to be caught in the act. That will be very inconvenient to explain, for some. I would be expecting a number of “suicides” to cover up loose ends.
Trust nothing from NATO, Germany, Ukraine, CIA, MI6, law enforcement, the EU or Congress.
In Trump We Trust!
So now Zelensky is the spokesperson for all things happening and blames the Russian Boogeyman ??
Russia will not waste time and effort on a street vendor like Ukraine and the globalist EU scum to gain sympathy.
Why is it nobody ever does forensics on these Drones ?
It will reveal the truth of who instantly
Fingerprints and DNA if the EU can manage that.
The Russians admitted to the street vendor attack? Is this true?
Doubtful
noted that western governments, including the former republic of the US, are in the process of heavily restricting drone access and parts to its people.
this is not to protect us from chyna. it is to protect shit, illegitimate government from its people as drones represent one of the most fundamental game changers in the ability to fight an aggressor.
they should be included under 2A, but i think we are too far gone.
Wow, I’ll bet the founders never thought of the anti-drone applications for the 2nd amendment……..
Are all explosive drones that slow and shotgun vulnerable?
not gonna buy a license for drone hunting….
I remember years ago when they made it a felony to shoot drones down that are hovering over your property. People were rightfully getting pissed about invasion of privacy and plunked them from the sky like skeet shooting.
The public safety thing of stray bullets landing was real. But I think they also knew how they were planning on using them against us.
I prefer most people’s first instincts. Pull!!

after incurring the wrath of the entire Russian Federation
for selling cabbage out of the back of his truck.
😂 🤣
Cui bono?
More false flags.
Why do I have the feeling that the cameraman for the vendor was in on the attack. Seems like an odd thing to discover / video. Not impossible, but seems less probable someone just happened to be there…
Been saying for 2 years Zalenskyy needs to go far far away…. no more weapons or money to Ukrain.
“The world must see this. It must see every piece of evidence that Russia has gone mad and that its soldiers take pleasure in killing and abusing civilians.
This from a guy more than likely watched as a Ukrainian suicide drone attacked beachgoing civilians in Russia recently.
Z is a mental case.
“This Russia attack narrative just doesn’t pass the smell test. First, why would Russia care about a guy at a street market in Kherson? Second, the quadcopter drone operator has to be close to the event in order to fly the drone and detonate the payload.”
I saw that video late yesterday. A nice, steady, clear color video taken from probably no more than 100 feet away. The drone flying around and around trying to get close to the man, who was running about trying to avoid it. But the smell test didn’t pass with me, either. If it really was Russian, why wouldn’t the operator go after the person filming the incident? Sure, might have been hard to see, but you would think the operator of the drone would surveil the whole area before deciding on what to attack. And then after it is detonated the video immediately gets into the hands of none other than Zelensky himself!!!
I believe that was a Ukrainian drone and a Ukrainian operator and the person doing the filming was right next to him and also Ukrainian. I would not doubt one bit that the incidents in Leipzig were also perpetrated by a Ukrainian team with a Ukrainian drone. Or at least these were done by others on Ukraine’s behalf. And Zelensky probably knows beforehand that these incidents are being planned and carried out and is just waiting to be able to tell the world that it is all Russia’s fault.
False flag an attack in Ukraine, then conveniently two drones are spotted in daylight with conveniently “faulty” detonators. Couldn’t write a better script for this myself.
A determined adversary would have done this attack at night or in low light conditions and taken all efforts to ensure the drones were not spotted before detonating. Anyone with a brain can see the exact opposite was done here: EVERY effort was made to ensure the drones were spotted.
This absolutely reeks.
If the UK (or another NATO member) attacks Russia on behalf of Ukraine, does the US have to defend the UK per the NATO charter, even though the UK attacked first?
No.

Unlike the EU and Ukrainian Operators of the Ukrainian strike elements, the Russians have yet to purposely target a “civilian” target over the past 4-years.
The Russians have yet to go after Ukrainian government and business officials.
They do not even hit infrastructure, unless a “military” target is involved.
The trains still run, the airports still operate, the lights still go on and off, there is still traffic on the roads, the internet and telephones still work, money still flows through the banks UNHACKED …. celebrity supporters of Z-Man still travel safely in and out of the Ukraine at will.
