Panic in Heraklion: swimmers discovered "Iranian" drone


People who came to the beach of Heraklion on Sunday mistook a drone thrown ashore by the waves as having arrived from Iran and panicked.

This is a target manufactured by a British company for training calculations for manning anti-aircraft systems.

All's well, as they say, that ends well…
