“Toys? Not quite. Inside the trucks — 3,000 flying devices.”

In Russia's Far East, customs officers intercepted two trucks from China that, according to the paperwork, were carrying toys and household goods. But when they opened the cargo — surprise.
Inside were nearly 3,000 advanced aerial devices: fixed-wing drones, quadcopters, and hundreds of parts. And these weren't just "for filming weddings." Some models were equipped with cameras, surveillance systems, thermal imagers, and payload-release mechanisms.
Such equipment can be used for more than just "fun." Authorities quickly shut down the quiet smuggling attempt. Administrative cases were launched — fines could reach double the value of the shipment, plus confiscation.
The seized drones will likely be transferred to state agencies — they'll know how to put them to use 😌.
In recent months, "grey imports" from Asia have been growing rapidly, turning customs checkpoints into the front line of a new tech cat-and-mouse game.
Friends, do you think this is just a one-time case… or the start of a much bigger game? 🧐
