"I live on Kamennaya Horka. Slept excellently." The same bots were deployed under drone videos
A TikTok video about the sound of a drone , which residents in various districts of the capital and other settlements across the country heard at night, became the target of bot intervention.

In the comments section under the video, users massively confirm: a drone or drones indeed flew over Belarus on the night of March 23. People from various parts of Belarus describe unusual sounds that woke many up:
"In Hrodna, it was clearly audible."
"In Hrodna around three in the morning, everyone woke up from an unusual sound."
"In Hrodna district around three in the morning."
"In Hrodna at 3:29."
"In Barauliany it was heard at night somewhere around +— 3, 4 AM, a hum, but it wasn't a helicopter. Could be a plane, honestly, a hum like a missile."
"True, the sound was strong. Minsk."
"The same was true in Vitsebsk district!"
"There was a sound in the Zaslaŭje area, around 3:30 AM, that's exactly what woke me up."
"In Maladzyechna, I also heard it around three in the morning. The sound was very strong."
"I live in Minsk! Heard it. In the Vaneev Square area! No hallucinations!"

Simultaneously with the wave of testimonies, a group of accounts was "deployed" to the comments, whose task is to maximally reduce the degree of tension and refute any facts. Their posts are written as if copied:
"I live on Kamennaya Horka. Slept excellently, no noise, don't spread lies."
"I live on Kamennaya Horka. Slept excellently."

"I live on Kamarouka! This is the first I'm hearing of it! Lies!"
"Lies, I live in Minsk, nothing happened!!!"
"Lies."

Some "silence advocates" act more subtly, naming specific micro-districts to create an illusion of calm on the ground:
"I live in the Kuntsaŭshchyna area, nothing like that happened, everything is calm."
"I live in Minsk, heard nothing."
"Zialiony Luh. I slept so poorly tonight, barely slept, but heard absolutely nothing like that."
"I live in Minsk near Kamennaya Horka. Nothing happened, no sounds."
"I live near Kamennaya Horka, heard nothing (the window was open) except for a trolleybus passing in the morning."
"Sukharava, heard nothing, even though I'm a very light sleeper."
"I live in Uruchcha, it was quiet at night."

Another group of commentators works according to a simplified scheme – they simply deny the obvious, without going into details:
"Heard nothing, windows closed, what could you hear there. I got up at half past three, and noticed nothing like that," "I heard nothing. Stop saying nonsense," "No extraneous noises other than the alarm for work were heard."

There are also those who tried to scoff, attempting to portray witnesses as "crazy":
"At night you should sleep, not sit on the internet, and there will be no hallucinations."
"UFOs, darn it, you need to sleep at night."

Such a synchronized "counter-attack" by the bot farm looks like a well-rehearsed algorithm. Similar activity was observed previously, for example, during discussions about the ecological state of the air in Minsk – then organized "commentators" just as zealously argued that there was no smog in the city.
