A short clip of a Garry Kasparov press conference interrupted by a flying object in a prank. It is a brief, crude stunt video.

HN commenters cite it only as an early example of a politically motivated drone-style attack on Kasparov.

He's been ridiculed and ignored by the very same regime for as long as he was a supposed thorn in its side. Here's one example - [VIDEO] - a flying penis incident. All in all, Kasparov has an incredible brain that, regrettably, peaked in its performance and application when he was a chess player. I left Russia over 10 years ago (meaning that I've spent most of my adult life in the Western world), and yet even when I was there it was bloody obvious that Kasparov was on the US payroll. The fact that a smart and practical person like him continued on the same path only cements my impression.

Those things are not exactly silent you know. Nor are they difficult to stop/intercept. Case in point: [VIDEO]

There was a similar politically-motivated drone "attack" against Gary Kasparov 5 years ago: [VIDEO]
