Igor Konashenkov, told the Interfax new agency that the drone was on an aerial reconnaissance mission in an area patrolled by Russian peacekeeping forces. Konashenkov stressed that the Georgian military sent the aircraft to the region despite claims by the country’s leadership that their troops had moved out of the conflict zone.He added that the detection of any further drones by Russian forces would result in them being shot down. Throughout the conflict, the Georgian leadership has been waging a media war against Russia. There have been a number of false claims about Russian troop movements in Georgia. (Source)
