๐Ÿ›ฉ At least 12 "shahids" per night in Belarus, 2 disappeared, one flew to Rechitsa and returned to Ukraine - a circle of 200+ km.

On the night of November 12, at least 12 visits by Russian suicide drones of the "shahed" type to Belarus from Ukraine were recorded. The drones flew to Bragin, Gomel and Rechitsa, and repeatedly passed through the "Belarusian corridor".

The first entry was at 22:09 to the Bragin area and then exited back to Chernihiv region with a second entry into the "corridor" and then to Kiev region. During the night, the "shahids" entered at 23:14 , 02:58 , 03:35 , 04:49 , 05:05 , 05:40 , 06:10 , 06:58 , 07:10 , 07:59 and 08:10 .

According to @eRadarrua , at 07:10 the drone was spotted north of Rechitsa and was heading towards Svetlogorsk/Bobruisk , i.e. it was 70 km from the border with Ukraine. Then it circled and flew to the Kiev Reservoir, having flown a total of about 200 km over Belarus.

During the night, at least 2 drones were lost in Belarus, this was also confirmed by the Ukrainian Air Force, which reported that 2 UAVs left Ukrainian airspace in the direction of Belarus and the Russian Federation.

This was the fourth night in a row when Russian "shahids" flew into Belarus en masse and for the first time in these days the Belarusian Air Force's duty aircraft was raised. The fighter from Baranovichi took off at about 07:40 in the morning and returned to the base at 08:45.

So is this the work of electronic warfare from the ukranian army or rather a russian fail due to their subpar engineering and shitty ways?

It could have been on purpose, to create a confusing flight path and circumvent AA, but who knows.
