Comment
One of the drones currently stationed in occupied Cyprus and its companion making all the usual moves. To be clear when I said "pro forma twirls" I wasn't referring to the cork-screwing up and down you see drones do where or near to where they land or take off instead of descending as they approach their destination or climb out when taking off, like regular manned aircraft. It's a drone-thing. Because they are unmanned and can't respond to external threats, to minimize their exposure at least to threats from the ground, they climb to or descend from somewhere near their cruising altitude in safe air space where they land or take off.Resources
