The unmanned aerial vehicles that attacked Moscow on the morning of May 30 could have arrived from the Baltic region, for example, Kharkov. This was announced by the General Director of the Association «Aeronext» NTI Gleb Gabintsev.
“Attacks can easily come from the territory of the Baltic States — in a straight line we are only 700 kilometers away, this is a trifle for a small aircraft. From Ukraine, especially from Kharkov, it is also very simple, — Babintsev said.
According to him, a small aircraft-type drone with an internal combustion engine (ICE) and a load of 20 to 50 kg can fly 1.5-2 thousand kilometers.
The day before, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that on the morning of May 30, Moscow was attacked by eight drones, which were all destroyed.
