Could the "drone" invasion be because the aliens believe we're at the cusp of a nuclear conflict with Russia?

It's well known that UAP/UFO's have historically been attracted to military bases and nuclear weapons facilities. With the recent developments in Syria and Assad being overthrown, Putin's backed even further into a corner he can't get out of. Maybe the super advanced alien AI that operates the drones can sense this? Things just got really bad for Russia and Putin will do anything to save his ass even if that means launching nukes to go out in a blaze of glory.
