Claim: Russian Orlan-10 UAVs launched from shadow-fleet ships over Europe

The post discusses an IISS report alleging Russia conducted an 18‑month UAV reconnaissance campaign over NATO and nuclear sites in Europe, potentially launching drones from “shadow fleet” tankers. If true, ship-based UAV launch for covert ISR along European coasts would represent a notable operational method and escalation pathway, though the post emphasizes the claim lacks publicly presented evidence.
