Comment

This is a problem : starting out in Syria yesterday, it then illegally moves into occupied Cyprus and then appears to cover a distance of 900 km to the Northern border with Greece in an hour. Either that or there really are two drones with with mode-S address 001071. The best way out of this conundrum is to assume the various trackers got it wrong. They contradict each other while some actually show the drone flying the 900km separating the two areas of operation. A problem.
