Sweden drones: Sightings reported over nuclear plants and palace

  Reminds me of the mysterious drones spotted over us navy destroyers 10 months ago. I wonder if they are related? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26563090 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26563090

    That sounds like a predator or something. Or one of those smaller military surveillance drones that are still very capable (hundreds of miles ranges). I wonder why this wouldn't be cause for an immediate scramble of fighter jets just like a manned military incursion would. Which happens a lot, Russia often crosses NATO territory unannounced with nuclear-capable cold-war bombers likes the Tu-95 Bear. Every few months or so. Perhaps there was an intercept done but it was kept secret? But the Russian incursions are always widely reported.
