Is Russia’s Announcement of a Drone to Monitor Nuclear Fallout a Veiled Threat?

[Grim Reaper 6]

The drone is a first-person view (FPV) type equipped with systems for checking background radiation after an attack in order to safeguard military and civilian personnel. In addition to monitoring equipment the drone uses a camera that transmits real time images to allow it to be remotely controlled using virtual reality glasses, mobile phone or Tablet.

According to Kuzyakin, it is a small, compact drone that can be stowed alongside ground-based nuclear monitoring equipment. Flight time for the drone is up to 20 minutes, with an operating range of up to 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) depending on the terrain, signal conditions and level of contamination.

To monitor nuclear disasters such as at Fukushima a longer and larger operating range may be preferred?

I agree but it shows they are planning for something, or they are making threats with no substance only time will tell.

I just noticed this on X.  It doesn't really fit here but it isn't worth starting a new thread.  No desire to derail, I just thought it interesting:

This guy and Douglas MacGregor have been on Russia's payroll for quite a while and the FBI's sudden interest is curious.
