A video of a downed drone in Tajikistan has surfaced online.
According to the footage, it is a fairly large military drone. The video’s author claims that it was filmed in the village of Sharora in the city of Gissar.
It is reported that the drone landed on the morning of December 3.
It is possible that the unmanned aerial vehicle belongs to the Ministry of Defense of Tajikistan, as the flag of Tajikistan is visible on the drone.
The footage also shows that the drone caught fire.
No official comments from the authorities of Tajikistan have been received yet. It is unclear why the large military drone was flying in the vicinity of the capital of Tajikistan.
This is the first case of a drone from the armed forces of Tajikistan crashing. Previously, there had been no reports of the armed forces acquiring military drones. Against the backdrop of a border conflict with Kyrgyzstan, the country’s authorities were negotiating with Turkey to acquire Bayraktar TB2 drones. However, it has not been reported whether the deal was finalized.
