The Finnish invasion of Iran

CNN:

Iran is holding three Finnish citizens who may have trespassed into Iranian territorial waters in the Persian Gulf over the weekend, a Finnish Foreign Minister official told CNN Wednesday.

"They have been detained by Iranian authorities after mistakenly navigating into Iranian waters during a fishing trip," according to Pasi Tuominen, the deputy director of the Finnish Foreign Ministry.

"We have been in contact with Iran authorities and we are continuing to have talks with Iranian authorities and we expect that and wish that the Finnish citizens would be released as early as possible."

According to the Finnish News Agency STT, the men were on a fishing cruise Saturday near Abu Musa, an island claimed by both Iran and the United Arab Emirates when they were seized by Iranian authorities.

Barry French, a Nokia Siemens spokesman, told STT that the three men are employees of the company's Dubai unit.

...
That sounds like a likely cover story for the Finnish commandos who are preparing for the Finnish conquest of Iran. While Finland may have no historical claim to Iran, we should not overlook the strength of character of the Fins and the danger they pose to a weak regime in Tehran. However, fishermen can get distracted when they think they have a bite.

In case any nut job in the Iranian government reads this and thinks Finland is really up to something, forget about it. Your paranoia needs attention.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
