If the drone javelin throw was an Olympic sport, it looks as though it would be one the Russians could win without cheating.
According to The Huffington Post, the Rusborg medieval reenactment festival in the Lipetsk region of Russia recently had an unwanted visitor at their annual party, but it wasn’t that annoying tribe of peasants from the other side of the mountain.
Nope, you guessed it: It was one of those damn drones.
Luckily for the people in attendance, one “knight” was prepared to save them from harm.

The spearman wasn’t the only actor who took exception to the drone flying overhead. The 1,000+ attendees are so serious about their festival that guests aren’t even allowed to wear “modern underwear.”
The knight has since apologized and agreed to pay for a few minor damages to the drone. No word if he’ll do so using actual Russian currency or by trading in some of his sheep. We will keep you in the loop, though, so don’t you worry, folks.
