Russian Combat Drone Forum Postponed Over Fears of Ukrainian Attack
Organizers said the Dronnitsa event would require diverting air defenses and security personnel from other locations.
The annual Russian military drone forum, known as Dronnitsa, has been postponed due to intelligence suggesting Ukraine is planning an attack involving ballistic missiles and "terrorist bio-drones." The event, usually held in Veliky Novgorod, was canceled following consultations with local and security officials. The organizers expressed concern over the safety of attendees, citing the need to divert air defenses and security personnel from other areas.
The principal founder, Alexei Chadayev, stated that Ukrainian forces would not have targeted the forum if it had proceeded. The forum, now in its second year in the Novgorod region, aims to foster a professional community of drone operators and specialists.
