UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 2hGreat work by Peter at TV 2, continuing to underline the Danish military have arguably lied not once, but twice. It shouldn't take a passenger plane being hit for someone to understand drones are not highly illuminated. 000
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 2hGood work Peter, keep it up, I've made the argument here in the UK while battling FOI Tribunal (court) cases that we've arguably reached a tipping point where drone countermeasures in civilian airspace can pose as much or more threat than drones themselves. 011

UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Oh dear, we can add the Netherlands to the top of the list of idiotic military that is likely to shoot at civil aviation should there be an incident of drone hysteria. "large" illuminated drones is the typical description of a misidentified aircraft. www.rtl.nl/nieuws/polit... 020
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I've had a play with this, it's definitely worth a look. 020

UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 04/10/2026A Russian fighter pilot flying at night reportedly shot down a fellow Russian crew in a helicopter 🚁 mistaken for a drone. We can't laugh in the West as we keep making the same identification mistake, it just hasn't been fatal,YET! migflug.com/afterburner/... 000
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Danish TV 2 are checking the data, but it's looking possible the trigger happy gun-toting Danish Army may have shot at an Atlas Air passenger plane as well last year. I imagine this is likely a 747? 011
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I'd suggest TV 2 borrow a consumer drone and repeat this test: bsky.app/profile/uavh... 011
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 02/10/2026A drone is not showing up as bright red, green, white lights miles away, here's what a drone really looks/sounds like at night, close up! 020
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 02/10/2026As Ukraine shows every day, Leipzig showed, CISA has said for years, malicious drones are not lit up. You cannot determine the distance of a light at night against the sky. This is a drone LED left, small aircraft right, your phone light is likely brighter than many drones. 040
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 01/10/2026If 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 010
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 01/10/2026And 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. 000
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 01/10/2026If they give you video of a supposed drone ask that it is the original with meta data and location and time. 000
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Having been caught lying once my confidence is low that the truth will be told this time. The soldiers' own description matches a propellor powered passenger plane. I hope I'm proven wrong. 021
Reposted by UAV HivePeter Møller @pmolpmol.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Denmark’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. 282
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 30/09/2026As a reminder, a journalist managed to acquire the description of what the soldiers shot at, it is an exact match for the plane, red/green/white is the ICAO lighting for an aircraft and it was propellor powered. 000
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Well 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! 100
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Peter 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. 011
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 29/09/2026TOMORROW THE DANISH MILITARY is supposed to come clean on the likely shooting at a Norwegian passenger plane they mistook for a drone last September. 021
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 28/09/2026As 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. 011
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 27/09/2026This 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... 032
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Oh 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 020
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I 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. 031
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Doesn't TV2 have a drone you could have flown out? Next time!!! 😉 010
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Can 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! 010
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 22/09/2026This 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. 011
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It'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. 021

UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It'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. 113

It was right to ask questions: 021
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Irish 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. 000
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 20/09/2026It appears the police in Luxembourg are trying to calm things pointing out people are reporting aircraft, but some journalists are still running aircraft videos for clicks, ramping up public anxiety. www.rtl.lu/news/nationa... 021
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Oh FFS, the world has gone mad!

UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Yawn! 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...luxtimes.luSuspected drone activity shuts down Luxembourg airportIncoming flights diverted on Friday evening as drones reportedly fly over country’s airport in Findel 011
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The video head is additional kit and being 360° is pretty cool, then again a drone can fly low, or in poor visibility where I suspect it could get to a target in many cases without being seen until late. The piece didn't make clear how dangerous effectors could be. 010
UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Oh dear, the British Army is using the same system Dublin Airport has been using for years to seemingly fail to spot drones.

UAV Hive @uavhive.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Denmark has a real problem (like almost every EU country) about simply being honest about drone misidentification.
