Militærdrone skyller i land på Kavatsi-stranden i Bulgarien
Den 11. september 2026 opdagede turister resterne af et ubemandet luftfartøj af militær type på Kavatsi-stranden ved Bulgariens sydlige Sortehavskyst. Specialiseret personale blev tilkaldt til stedet omkring kl. 05:00, og myndighederne sikrede det omkringliggende område. Luftfartøjets hovedkrop var beskadiget, mens propelafsnittet forblev forholdsvis intakt. Opdagelsen fulgte efter en usædvanligt tæt række af bjærgninger af militære droner langs Bulgariens kyst i august og første halvdel af september. Bulgarske styrker havde bjærget en anden drone nordøst for Kap Kaliakra kun fem dage tidligere og havde håndteret flere militære UAV'er på flere Sortehavslokationer den 2. september. Bulgariens forsvarsminister Dimitar Stoyanov havde offentligt udtalt i slutningen af august, at de fleste droner, der dengang skyllede i land, var russiske rekognoscerings- eller lokkefly. Ingen offentlig teknisk vurdering fastslog dog specifikt Kavatsi-dronens nationalitet. Strømme i Sortehavet kan transportere beskadigede luftfartøjer over betydelige afstande, hvilket gør dens nøjagtige flyverute og oprindelsespunkt usikre.

On 11 September 2026, tourists discovered the remains of a military-type unmanned aerial vehicle on Kavatsi beach on Bulgaria’s southern Black Sea coast. Specialised personnel were called to the site at approximately 05:00 and authorities secured the surrounding area. The main body of the aircraft was damaged, while its propeller section remained comparatively intact. The discovery followed an unusually dense sequence of military-drone recoveries along Bulgaria’s coastline during August and the first half of September. Bulgarian forces had recovered another drone northeast of Cape Kaliakra only five days earlier and had dealt with several military UAVs at multiple Black Sea locations on 2 September. Bulgarian Defence Minister Dimitar Stoyanov had publicly stated in late August that most of the drones then washing ashore were Russian reconnaissance or decoy aircraft. However, no public technical assessment specifically established the Kavatsi drone’s nationality. Black Sea currents can transport damaged aircraft considerable distances, making its exact flight route and point of origin uncertain.
