Its pretty remarkable how quickly sea drones have changed naval warfare.
For years people talked about billion dollar ships like they were untouchable and now relatively cheap unmanned systems are forcing navies to completely rethink security in places like the Black Sea. Ukraine has basically turned asymmetric warfare into a real time case study.

I bet they do zippo about it.

When military tech starts washing up in other countries, the conflict is no longer staying neatly within borders.

Russian missiles have been crashing in Poland for years now. It sucks, but unless warmongering countries are stopped, there is nothing the rest of the world can do.

Is it possible it washed up or just crashed?

Hm yes war is extremely serious, give more weapons to Ukraine so it ends sooner.

The fact that the drone was made by Ukraine doesn’t necessarily mean it was used by Ukraine. Russia has a lot of Ukrainian things that they steal during their rape and pillage operations. I would not be surprised if Russia put this there to cause division between Greece and Ukraine.

I guess I’m dumb but why would Ukraine go out of its way to mess with Greece when it is fighting for its life against Russia? What purpose would it serve? I must be ignorant — to me it seems like this would have to be something that was sold to someone else or stolen by someone else. I will have to go and educate myself on Ukrainian-Greece relations.

Obviously an accident, drone losing guidance or mobility. The natural final resting place for a Ukrainian drone is a Russian ship, and there are plenty of Russian ships in the Med. Greece happens to have a huge proportion of the Mediterranean coastline by virtue of having so many islands and peninsulas, and was therefore the likeliest place for a lost drone to wash up.

How exactly would this drone get to Greece?

It is serious, how will it find a Russian ship to say hello to now.

It is unfortunate that it didn’t find its intended Russian target!

How hard would it be for Russia to create a situation like this?
