A Moldovan villager stripped the engine out of a 'deadly' drone he found on farmland after mistaking the military device for a model aeroplane.
The incident took place between the communes of Pepeni and Copaceni in the Singerei district of the Republic of Moldova, with authorities confirming on December 3 that the aircraft was a Russian-used Gerbera decoy drone.
