A method for testing a lightning protection system and/or a lightning detection system of a wind turbine is provided, the method including usage of an unmanned aerial vehicle including an electrical impulse generator capable to simulate a lightning strike by discharging an electrical impulse, whereby the method includes the steps of: (a) maneuvering the unmanned aerial vehicle with the electrical impulse generator contacting the wind turbine or with the electrical impulse generator being within a range of the electrical impulse generator to the wind turbine such that the electrical impulse discharged by the electrical impulse generator will impact the wind turbine, and (b) discharging the electrical impulse by the electrical impulse generator such that the discharged electrical impulse impacts the wind turbine as an impacting electrical impulse.
