A group of men reportedly blocked drones from launching from the roof of a truck in the Irkutsk region on June 1st. Footage circulating online shows individuals climbing onto a truck where drones were taking off, attempting to prevent further launches.
Two men were seen standing on the truck’s roof, while others on the ground threw objects upwards.
