Luckily they were quickly intercepted and destroyed by our massive and well equipped military /s

FOUR UNIDENTIFIED MILITARY-STYLE drones breached a no-fly zone and flew towards the flight path of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s plane at Dublin Airport late on Monday night, *The Journal* has learned.
The plane landed, slightly ahead of schedule, just moments before the incident happened at about 11pm. The drones reached the location where Zelenskyy’s plane was expected to be at the exact moment it had been due to pass.
The drones then orbited above an Irish Navy vessel that had secretly been deployed in the Irish Sea for the Zelenskyy visit.
Sources have said that the drones took off from the north-east of Dublin, possibly near Howth, and flew for up to two hours. Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land or from an undetected ship.

Somewhat expected given similar drone incidents throughout the EU in recent times.

This was one of my concerns with Zelensky visiting Ireland. Given our lack of NATO participation there would be far less consequences if Russia targeted him during his visit and they might be willing to try.
Our military is a bad joke.

Could somebody please explain me why it is not possible to send a drone to follow the foreign drone to find out where it came from? Do we not have drones that could do that? What would it take to make it possible? What are the challenges an engineer would face trying to construct such a drone?

It is so good Europe invests in tanks that can intercept these drones.

It’s time Ireland started to take defence matters seriously as part of Europe.

Why would Russia want to attack a non-NATO country which has no military and poses no threat to anyone? /s

And yet, there will still be lots of deluded Irish people saying we have to stay neutral and Russia is not a threat to us. I despair.

Wow this is really getting interesting. What type of data can a drone intercept?

I love how Europe is just smiling idly hoping the conflict is going to resolve itself and it’s not going to reach *their* country.

These attacks and rhetoric from Russia are escalating quite fast in the past few weeks. Even Putin seems to be taking the lead and talks about war with Europe directly, while in the past he always had some other talking head to do that. He must be running out of time, and maybe faster than we think.
I know the popular thing to do would be to shoot those drones down, but I think thats exactly what he wants, so its wise not to get dragged into this game.

We’ve been getting bullied by drones for months now?
And it’s still impossible to know where they’re coming from??
I’d really like to know what the experts and the military think about this.

Probably a reminder to Z man that he can be touched whenever.
