First comes the warning, that disembodied voice over the tannoy: "Your attention please. Air siren in the city. Please move to the shelter on the minus second floor." Then comes the mosquito-like whine of the incoming Russian drones, massing in their hundreds just above the clouds.
It's followed immediately by the rattle of anti-aircraft fire, the distant thud of explosions, then finally the ominous klaxon call of ambulance and fire sirens.
This is the grim reality of night time in Kyiv and other cities across Ukraine.
These are attack drones that explode on impact.
Drones are now an integral part of modern warfare, but they are not confined to the battlefield.
Across western Europe, far from Ukraine, unarmed drones have also been found buzzing around airports, military bases and power plants, all part of a suspected programme of "hybrid warfare" being waged by Russia, with some speculating they're arriving to test the resilience of certain Nato countries that are helping Ukraine.
Recent drone sightings in Poland, along with a swathe spotted around critical infrastructure across Europe, including in Belgium and Denmark, have sparked fear across some Nato countries.
Now, there is talk that a "drone wall" is to be designed to protect parts of Europe - but just how necessary is this, really? And more pertinently, how realistic?
A wake-up call to Europe
On 9 September, around 20 Russian drones overshot Ukraine and flew into Poland, forcing the closure of four airports.
Nato jets were scrambled and several of the drones were shot down - the rest crashed across Poland, scattering debris in multiple regions.
This was a wake-up call to Europe, marking one of the largest and most serious breaches of Nato airspace since the war in Ukraine began.
Which is why discussion about a possible drone wall seems ever more pressing.
"This momentum..."

No worries, we love you and we’re here to help.
Klaatu barada nikto.
As long as they are not causing climate change......./s
Time to break out the old movie ‘The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming’ to remind us how how silly this all is.
I don’t live in Europe, and don’t give a crap about Europe either.
You have our eternal gratitude for that important announcement.
This is from BBC. Why even waste your time reading this crap?
I just watched it again a couple of weeks ago. I'd seen it when it first came out in 1966. I was 19 at the time. Noticed it on one of my streaming channels, and watched it. It was nice seeing all the old actors again: Alan Arkin, Carl Reiner, Eva Marie Saint, Jonathan Winters, Paul Ford, Brian Keith, Ben Blue, and Theodore Bikel.

This makes me think all the drones we had flying around last year were a test run for this current rolling false flag operation going on in Europe.
Thanks. I'll try to scrape through another 10 years of my life, so I can remind everyone then too.
Neither do I. The Euroweenies are on their own.
I live near a large AFB and see some very interesting things. Several times a week, approximately an hour after sunset, I see and hear aircraft that are certainly Air Force.
There is also a very interesting drone type of craft that is large and runs grid patterns over the local area at low altitude. It has an odd sound that I’ve never heard from other drones or flying objects as it reminds me of the sound of an electric car. My kids have remarked that they’ve seen it when driving and it kind of freaked them out. Lol.
Yep...saw that one too when it first came out. The same writers of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Mad World, wrote the screenplay for The Russians are Coming.
I can’t sleep nights worrying about the drones over European airports, sure it’s the same for you.
BBC 🤣😳👽😱
