Ukrainian Tu-141 UAV Shot Down in Crimea, Crashes in Zagreb, Croatia

A field day for Ukrainian Tu-141 UAVs.

One is shot down in Russia's Crimea.


Another one crashes in Zagreb, capital of Croatia, late at night yesterday.

 




The Tu-141 UAV is a 1970s Soviet reconnaissance drone pressed into service by Ukraine.

There is already a wikipedia article on the incident.




One take is that, while Nato has some allegedly capable air force in Europe, the pact has next to nothing in the way of land-based anti-aircraft capability.
