NATO RADAR FAILURE?! TU-141 UNMANNED AIRCRAFT PASSED HALF OF EUROPE AND FALLS IN THE WIDE CENTER OF ZAGREB Who launched STRIŽ?!
CROATIA
11.03.2022. 08:30 a.m. > 3:37 p.m
Striž = VR-2 Strij/Tu 141
The investigation lasted until dawn, and allegedly, according to the statements of the Croatian media, a red pentacle and inscriptions in Cyrillic can be seen on certain parts of the aircraft. Certain specialized media have established that it is most likely a strategic unmanned aerial vehicle Tu-141 Vr Striž.
Croatian media reports unofficial information that a red pentagram and Cyrillic letters can be seen on the aircraft.
This indicates the probability that although the Russian army withdrew these scouts from operational use, it returned them again and that they were most likely used in reconnaissance of the western part of Ukraine along the border with Hungary and Poland and that at one point the aircraft continued its journey through Hungary to Zagreb .
However, we should not rule out the possibility that this drone is Ukrainian, not Russian, and that at some point it also disobeyed for some reason.
According to unconfirmed information, a parachute with a video was also found a few kilometers from the crash site.
What is interesting in the whole story is how this reconnaissance drone reached Zagreb. And what is most interesting is that this drone passed unnoticed through the entire NATO surveillance and warning system and fell into the wider center of Zagreb.
The Tupovljev concern, which is known for the production of strategic bombers, also made the strategic unmanned aerial vehicle "hawk" with a range of 3,800 km. It is a reconnaissance drone. Tupovlev's plan was to build an aircraft that would carry out surveillance flights in the West, behind the "Iron Curtain" in the depths of NATO territory.
The Tu-141 version is used for operational reconnaissance and is launched from a special TOU-141 trailer. In addition to the aircraft and launcher, there is also a TZM-141 transport vehicle, a TPU-141 control system and a POD-3 information processing and decoding station.
The former Soviet Army had as many as 152 such aircraft in its arsenal. After the collapse of the USSR, they remained in the armament of the Russian and Ukrainian armies, with the difference that the Russians took this strategic drone out of operational use almost a little over 10 years ago. It is not known whether they returned it to operational use due to the invasion, although that option exists.
