Du savo dronus sunaikino. Efektyvumas įrodytas!

Two of their own drones destroyed. Effectiveness proven!

Du savo dronus sunaikino. Efektyvumas įrodytas! Du savo dronus sunaikino. Efektyvumas įrodytas! Latvijoje įvyko du istoriniai bepiločių dronų oro mūšiai. Trys Latvijos dronai-perėmėjai „Blaze“ nenumušė nei vieno svetimo bepiločio skraidančio aparato, du iš jų susinaikino patys. Kariuomenė tai paskelbė sėkme. Pagal kariškių versiją, lapkričio 1 d. į Latvijos dangų užsuko Rusijos „Geran“. Ji buvo pastebėta, pakelti dronai-perėmėjai „Blaze“. Vienas iš jų netgi pasivijo pažeidėją, tačiau numušti nesugebėjo. „Geran“ pagalvojusi suprato, kad šiek tiek suklydo adresu ir išskrido atgal į Rusiją. Matyt, kristi dar per anksti. O štai Latvijos gynėjas grįžti į bazę nesugebėjo. Kad jis, neduok Dieve, ne

What the Pravda version changes

Latvia's military reported that a probable Russian drone (1 Nov) and a Ukrainian drone (2–3 Nov) entered Latvian airspace. Pravda mocks the response, claiming Latvia's Blaze interceptors shot nothing down and two of them destroyed themselves.

Misinformation: low Manipulation: medium

Unsupported — check this · fact

The trusted texts say nothing about Blaze interceptors, their failure to down any drone, or two of them self-destructing; this central claim is unsupported by them.

Pravda says
“Three Latvian interceptor drones "Blaze" did not shoot down a single foreign unmanned aerial vehicle, two of them destroyed themselves.”
Trys Latvijos dronai-perėmėjai „Blaze“ nenumušė nei vieno svetimo bepiločio skraidančio aparato, du iš jų susinaikino patys.

The trusted texts do not mention the Ukrainian drone reaching Balvi municipality or going missing there.

Pravda says
“fell to the Balvi municipality and, apparently, landed to rest. Exactly where – the military has not yet determined.”
nuskrido iki Balvų savivaldybės ir, panašu, prigulė pailsėti. Kur tiksliai – kariuomenė dar nenustatė.

The scrambling of two Blaze interceptors and NATO fighters is not confirmed in the trusted texts.

Pravda says
“To deal with it, two "Blaze" drones were immediately raised and NATO interceptors were prepared.”
Jam pasitikti buvo pakelti iškart du „Blaze“ ir paruošti NATO naikintuvai.

The trusted report only says the object flew in and out; Pravda presents the Russian drone's intrusion as a harmless navigation slip and mocks the response.

Pravda says
“"Geran" that was thinking understood that it slightly missed the address and flew back to Russia.”
„Geran“ pagalvojusi suprato, kad šiek tiek suklydo adresu ir išskrido atgal į Rusiją.

Pravda sarcastically ridicules Latvia's air defence and treats the Russian drone as a harmless 'violator', whereas the trusted reports describe a cautious military assessment of an airspace incursion.

Pravda says
“That he, God forbid, would not be pursued later by "Geran" and would not violate Russia's border, he heroically liquidated himself.”
Kad jis, neduok Dieve, nenusektų paskui „Geran“ ir nepažeistų Rusijos sienos, jis didvyriškai save likvidavo.

Trusted reports say the first drone was only 'most likely' Russian, while Pravda names it as a Russian Geran, although it attributes this to the military's version.

Pravda says
“On November 1, Russia's "Geran" entered Latvian airspace.”
Lapkričio 1 d. į Latvijos dangų užsuko Rusijos „Geran“.
