Owl lands on a Ukrainian combat drone in Kherson region
A video from Ukraine's southern Kherson region has spread on social media, showing an owl approaching a heavy Ukrainian drone and finally landing on top of it.
A video filmed in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine, where the war continues, has drawn wide attention on social media. It shows a wild owl approaching a heavy six-rotor drone of the Ukrainian forces and eventually settling on it.
According to the footage, the drone was sitting on the ground, waiting for a command to take off for another combat mission. At that moment an owl flew up to the aircraft and, as the images show, studied the machine with evident curiosity.
The bird kept its distance at first
At first the owl inspected the drone from a short distance. After a while it appeared to decide that the aircraft posed no threat and landed on top of it. The video shows the bird looking calm on the drone.
The source does not say exactly when the video was filmed, which unit operates the drone or what the planned mission was. It is also unknown whether the drone took off after the episode.
The video was published by the Latvian newspaper Latvijas Avīze on its website, which notes that it has attracted considerable attention from social media users.
