A United States Reaper drone was forced to make an emergency landing as its GPS signal was jammed while traveling in Polish airspace.
The drone landed near the town of Mirosławiec in northwestern Poland on Tuesday, March 19, Knewz.com has learned.
Poland’s Command of the Armed Forces announced the emergency landing in a post on X. The agency shared a photo of the MQ-9 Reaper without saying why it made an emergency landing.
According to Newsweek, the Pentagon confirmed the emergency landing of the piloted aircraft. The defense agency added that the aircraft was "conducting routine training operations when it lost connection with the command station, affecting their ability to operate the aircraft."

Controlled from a remote base.
“High tech” NATO is somehow losing out to Russia on electronic warfare.
What exactly does one get for a 900 billion per year budget ?
“Return to home” can be pretty handy.
Wait until someone develops the ability to override the remote controllers and to take command of the drone. You know its being worked on.
This in the West of Poland, near the German border.
That’s hundreds of miles from Kaliningrad. If the Russians can reach that far with electronic warfare...
Yuppers...
That with some Hellfires and I guy could have a good time in Dallas!
“The area affected is between Russia and NATO members Poland and Lithuania around Kaliningrad.“ Perhaps the drone got that far west before regaining its bearings or ability to be controlled and landed.
They’ve had very good electronic warfare capabilities long before the Ukraine war.
Russian armor, like all armor in Ukraine, is being hammered by drones. Jamming hasn’t been very successful there. Maybe the Ruskies are “rope a doping” us in Ukraine, waiting for the big show.
BarakHusseinOsama gave a highly secret fully capable military drone to Iran

Mexicans and trannies...
The US Air Force disagrees:

No mention of an “autonomous mode” for the MQ-9 Reaper:

Autonomous drones are coming...perhaps you are thinking of the XQ-58A “Valkyrie” or the Air Force “Project Venom”:
$900 billion per year for “national defense” didn’t stop a bunch of rowdy, unarmed hooligans from invading the U.S. Capitol on January 6th of 2021. That’s all you need to know about the pathetic state of affairs in this once-great country.
Are you saying it was snooping around Kaliningrad, got zapped by the Russians, left the zapping area, regained its bearings and was brought back to a compatible base? That’s sounds very probable to me.
You’re seemingly saying that drone warfare has made tanks obsolete. If that’s what you intend you’re probably right.
This war is the first taste of modern drone warfare.
Your picture is photoshopped.
Interference will conform to 3 dB roll off, like any other electromagnetic signal and that would result in gradual effects at the relevant distance from center.
Someone drew a box on the photo with straight line edges.
” $900 billion per year for “national defense” didn’t stop a bunch of rowdy, unarmed hooligans from invading the U.S. Capitol on January 6th of 2021. “
And that is after post-Cold War Elites spent 30 years hyping the terrorist threat, and the risk of attack from “Rogue” dictators.
In the end, these clowns were not even able to protect themselves. Let alone anybody else.
Poorly written I would say.
Vlad has many weapons systems we don’t have, time to puke out the Western narrative, modern Russia is not Soviet Russia.
Vlad still holds all the cards, get used to it.
