Wild story. German coast guard shadowed a Russian freighter and seven drones surrounded them. For three hours. CG left a known gunrunner ship to shadow this one. AIS got glitchy, drones galore. No one/nothing was shot/apprehended/documented? Also, drones were sighted over Ramstein on Mar 9th!?

We do not condone international attacks on police vehicles or hoods. The poor officers already have to drive around a Toyota; this is all the more demeaning. This elephant seal has been sternly lectured and released back to Heard Island custody
