drone appears to have struck a boat from the Global Sumud Flotilla while it was docked at a Tunisian port on its way to bring aid into Gaza, temporarily starting a fire.

    Yeah I saw the video and I don’t see or hear any drone, I just hear someone scream and fire.

        That’s more evident still doesn’t look like a drone but it does look like an attack.

          So what vehicle would drop an object directly from above from a short distance?

          The only explanation is a drone. The next bigger thing would be a helicopter. A plane is not possible as it cannot drop objects vertically due to its forward momentum. And a helicopter attack would certainly be even more severe than a drone attack.

            What about two swallows. We already know they can carry a coconut….

            The military of the us and by extension israel have all sorts of guided munitions that could be dropped from planes, including loitering munitions that cruise way up for hours or days before being guided down for striking.

            Point being they have the most advanced military gear on the planet and it could have been plane related they have many options as the us refuses to check their impulses for real even when using us weapons to target westerners and us citizens.

                Yes I suppose so but the nature of some of these weapons is kind of hybrid between the two. We do not refer to a guided missile as a drone and they have all manners of everything in between missiles and drones.

      You can clearly hear the buzz of the drone approach in the above video. It’s very obvious. Drones aren’t known for being quiet.

      I mean you can clearly hear the rotor sounds until the impact if you turn up volume

        I disagree with “clearly hear”, I have the volume on and at 100% volume

          But it’s right fucking there… It’s clear as day, both the audio of the rotors and the visual of the drop. Are you consciously trying to not hear/see it, for some reason?
