Sky watching

Things are pretty quiet around here. Internationally, people are on alert. A Russian, Belgian, and a Dane walk into a bar... There is a joke there, except when there isn't. They are on alert and patrolling. 

PM Carney: 

US President Reagan adopted the slogan: to 'trust but verify.' 
PM Carney says we "must deter and fortify." He said that Putin is not Gorbachev. Those who read history know whereof he speaks. 

There is lots of action across the pond. The reason is Russian drone and jet incursions. Poland shot down three drones two weeks ago.

The RAF is out over Poland.


 The Italians are out there, as well.



The BBC reports there've been drone incursion over Denmark, Germany, Sweden, closing airports. 
From a BBC article




These are military planes and drones, the app lets you weed out regular air flights. There is a lot of action.

It is illegal to fly a drone within 9 km of an active forest fire. Doing so could interfere with low flying waterbombers or helicopters and endangers the lives of pilots, firefighters and emergency personnel."

  1. Hello,
    It is sad people who own these drones do not follow the rules of flying. Take care, Happy Friday! Have a great weekend.

    I can report that there is increased airforce 'manouvers' practice over the hills of this Bonny Land, too... There is definitely a little edge to things these days. YAM xx

  7. The world is full of tension just now, as it has been for most of history. I think that we are living in unsettled times. But the dahlias still smile and a spotted Towhee just landed on our fence.

  9. Jenn, thank you for that. A great roundup of all of the problems. I am hoping that the drones get destroyed.
