If you were an army seeing drones AKA lights in the sky every night, you're completely incompetent not to get counter-drone detection deployed. I've seen nothing published yet addressing the fact the soldiers' own descriptions match the aircraft and the army addressing that. #Denmark

And finally the big steaming pile of bull💩, drones are not lit up to be seen at distance so the idea there were drones and an aircraft means we're back to arse covering lies. Oh well, I can't say I'm surprised.

Denmark’s military will tonight unveil a revised account of the 2025 Borris drone incident, where soldiers may have fired at a passenger jet. The rewrite follows our reporting, which exposed flaws in the timeline of the military’s original self-clearing report. Content of new report is unknown atm.

Well it past 7pm in Denmark, so it appears the Danish have missed another deadline to come clean about the suspected shooting at a passenger plane mistaken for a drone. They're now heading towards missing as many deadlines as the number of magazines they emptied into the sky!

Peter at Danish TV 2 trying to get answers from the military that by their own timeline were meant to reveal if they'd mistakenly shot at a Norwegian passenger plane. They shot at a propeller powered craft with red, green & white lights, the precise description of the aircraft.

As a reminder the misuse of laws to stop the BBC/Sky News heli flying for an entire week near Fairford looks like the overzealous misuse of power it was now.

This was a point I've tried to make to journalists in the past, it's fallen on deaf ears, the Restricted Area (Temporary) RA(T) used by police drone teams can be used specifically to curtail media coverage, that's what has happened here. So the Sky & BBC lost their helicopter footage...

Oh FFS, the BBC in full on science fiction hysteria, now trying to make out the AI world is commonly talking about people at home making their own WMDs and delivering those by drones. It's not easy to go down to B&Q & buy a bomb for a drone! #Fairford

I didn't get a reply from Luxembourg Police, however their language has changed, saying something I often say, you generally hear a drone first at night so the police are now asking people not to report lights in the sky UNLESS they can hear it's a drone.

Can you believe it, Danish Defence Minister Jeppe Bruus said Denmark fights for a free press unlike Russia, then falls silent when asked by a journalist why Denmark hasn't been transparent about the shooting at a Norwegian passenger plane. I 💕 Danish journalists, no messing!

This evening I emailed Luxembourg police on behalf of sUAS News detailing the checks police in Denmark & Belgium failed to make for their "drone" spats, hoping lessons can be learned. It's worth the effort if one day it stops another rifle being fired at a plane.

It's a shame RTL in Luxembourg is going for clickbait, drones are NOT brightly lit up, especially notorious ones as Leipzig proved. Journalists running aircraft videos as drones are going to contribute to a civilian aircraft getting shot down one day.

It's a year ago today Denmark said it was under a 9/11 style drone attack. Mick West's Metabunk, sUAS News & myself, said it was an aircraft, we were ignored. Today Frihedsbrevet are making their story free to view where they uncovered police knew we were telling the truth.

Irish journalists keep trying to milk stories about pilots reporting drones, when mistakes are very common. Here we have a dramatic report which even concedes that another pilot looked for the drone but saw nothing.

I found out something funny recently, I've always said seriously but tongue-in-cheek that water would make for a safe counter-drone effector. An expert in the drone domain patented a water based effector, ideal for prisons, but funding to make it a reality was denied.

The appeal case by the DfT to try & stop the Gatwick 2018 lessons learned document going public hasn't had a tribunal hearing date set yet, but it will do soon, potentially it'll be in time for December & the Gatwick drone anniversary. The arguments are over 400 pages!

Yawn! How is anyone seeing a drone at night given the idea of them being brightly lit is a myth? Until there's evidence otherwise, I'd guess there's been a mistaken sighting, then potentially a police heli launched, then the lights on that reported. www.luxtimes.lu/luxembourg/s...

It's hard to believe there's more drone farce from Denmark. Today its military decided to delay the report into the suspected shooting at a Norwegian passenger plane mistaken for a drone. How long can it take to realise the lights in the sky were an aircraft? www.forsvaret.dk/da/nyheder/2...

Denmark has a real problem (like almost every EU country) about simply being honest about drone misidentification. Danish police have blagged their citizens with NCND while being honest with their Irish counterparts, for some reason the public is never deemed worthy of honesty.

FOIA LATEST The "Russian" drone at Lakenheath & tri-base area, which we know was a mistaken USAF F-15 was clearly a string of mistakes, as the MoD did not tell ministers about the closure of the investigation. Meanwhile IISS & the ill-informed keep saying there was a drone.

I've told a few journalists, don't let your government blag you, a radar does NOT verify a drone threat, it's just a warning something is there, maybe it's a drone, maybe it's a bird. This is why a package of sensors is needed: news.sky.com/story/drone-...

I don't post about it much, but I've spent time using local AI, I wish journalists would give it a go, it works well & has no cost other than the GPU. The fact Thomson Reuters have entered this domain underlines that. At the moment there's enough ignorance that fear is being spread.

UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Reuters has a reputation it really ought to protect, but it has done a report about a drone at night (which is almost certainly a mistake) over Brussels and refers to sightings in 2025 failing to note a heli was behind those. Why can't journalists even Google?

Another photo of the Leipzig drone looks to have leaked. Looking at it, the authorities must have removed a few parts when they flipped the drone over to photo. If this photo leaked then Germany must hold the accolade for most easily bribed officers. 😆😛 Suspects also named!

UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
SMUG MODE ENGAGED, from just 1 photo I got the payload size of the Leipzig drone spot on before it was reported. That said, until they show the drone & payload together & CCTV we're being asked to believe things in trust where prior EU incidents have been lies.

UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
This made me laugh, it's a story with some insights into Ireland's counter-drone preparedness, but the authorities have inadvertently let slip that Denmark's drone sightings for the EU Presidency were all innocent/false. We all suspected that, but Denmark hasn't exactly been transparent.

UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
I have just sent this photo via Whatsapp to drone experts internationally (including some involved in Ukraine) & the same concerns are being expressed, that this photo doesn't show for certain SIM control & there are concerns no definitive payload has ever been seen.

German authorities were refusing to release a photo of the Leipzig drone, Bild now have a photo, so either an officer is leaking info or the authorities are just giving Bild exclusives likely in return for being able to frame the context/narrative. www.bild.de/regional/lei...

This is the ATC comms between Dublin ATC & the Aer Lingus pilot in EIN49D, for some reason others have chosen not to share this key bit in the alleged "drone" incident. The pilot is saying he did NOT (negative) see the drone.

UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Today sUAS News contacted the press office of Aer Lingus to seek reassurances against the sun, their own aircraft was not mistaken for a drone. A summary of the incident, including a link to playback the ADS-B was provided, this is a snippet:
011
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
I have had a polite email from an Irish journalist who has taken on board the possibility the pilot has made a mistake, also acknowledging false sightings have happened in the EU. I don't foresee elaboration on the story to calm matters but a nice exchange is good regardless.
020
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Adding the position of the sun to the ADS-B data suggests EI495/EIN49D appeared as a black silhouette as the sun was behind the plane as it was observed, this underlines the likelihood it's the infamous Irish black drone. www.suncalc.org#/53.2,-6.11,... As always, verification is welcome.
