American Global Hawk 10 hours led reconnaissance over the Donbas

Once again, reconnaissance over the Donbas was conducted by the US US drone RQ-4A Global Hawk. He carried out reconnaissance activities in the region around 10 hours. We are talking about an unmanned aerial vehicle with the callsign UAVGH000, which took off from the Sigonella airbase, located on the island of Sicily (Italy).

It is reported that the drone was moving in the same echelon at a height of approximately 15,5 thousand meters along the line of contact between the parties. This line RQ-4A Global Hawk did not intersect. At the same time, it was approaching the Russian borders at a distance of 70 km. This allowed him to monitor not only the territory of the LDNR, but also the border regions of the Russian Federation.

American route drone after departure, it passed through the airspaces of Italy, Greece, Bulgaria and Romania.

Against this background, information comes from the DPR that the attack on Avdeevka was carried out the day before by militants of the Right Sector (banned in the Russian Federation). From the message of the representative of the operational command of the DPR, Eduard Basurin (quote DAN)

After a thorough study of the photos and videos shown by the Ukrainian media, we claim that the blow was inflicted by the village of Vodyanoye, which is under the control of Ukraine, where, according to our intelligence, four arrived the day before yesterday tank and two artillery mounts D-30 and self-propelled guns "Acacia". We have previously repeatedly noted the presence in the area of ​​this weapon. The Armed forces of our Republic are accused of this attack, speaking of shelling from the village of Spartak. At the same time, representatives of the OSCE SMM who arrived at the scene of the incident do not confirm firing from this direction, but they also do not report the real direction of the shelling. The representation of the RF Armed Forces in the JCCC indicated information is also not confirmed.

The shelling of Avdiivka resulted in the death of 4's people. Did the fact that the Ukrainian radicals fired on Avdeevka recorded an American drone? - open question.

Comments

[Teberii]

He not only recorded, but also helped.

[cost]

There are two options, why could he appear there.
Option number one. Pessimistic. In the framework of the impending offensive of the Armed Forces (at least it is the large-scale training and transfer of forces indicated in the DNR reports), the spy is scouting the situation and the deployment of the main armaments and battalions. And this is a bad option, because I really would not want a large-scale offensive to take place nevertheless.
Option number two. Optimistic. "The US does not know exactly what is happening in eastern Ukraine, but it remains to be known," President Trump said in an interview with Fox News. It is likely that surveillance is carried out not only for the Donbass forces, but also for the AFU maneuvers. "Air policeman" can tell Washington more about what is happening on the territory of New Russia. It is noteworthy that the satellites began to actively visit the war zone exactly after the conversation between the leaders of the United States and Ukraine. Maybe the truth is, after a more thorough study of the situation, questions of the supply of lethal weapons, for example, will be exhausted. Or just the opposite - after evaluating the forces of the militia, the Americans will decide to help the APU even more.

Well, where does the Kremlin ?! In Soviet times, the U-2 flew four times into the depths of the USSR, the Kremlin was silent then, until it was shot down. And this one flies 70 kilometers from our border.
What claims can we make? Mutual flights of scouts along the borders occur constantly.

It's time to make noise. ... They will put the INF Treaty near Kharkov. ... Kharkov is far from some sacred Manas.

..Kharkiv is far from some sacred Manas

This phrase is completely meaningless.

[samarin1969]

There were a lot of words, and even more money was invested in countering the appearance of the United States in Central Asia. Perhaps getting into Central Asian affairs makes sense, which is not obvious to me. The presence of Americans in Manas has always provoked the rejection of official Moscow ....
In this case, NATO near Kharkov is a much more obvious problem for strategic deterrence of the enemy.

Avoid our provocations. Even radio fighting is not used. Maybe the secret agreements of the Pentagon and the Russian Defense Ministry on reconnaissance flights? It’s strange that from Sicily ... They have an Air Force intelligence unit in San Vito.

[rotmistr60]

but also beyond the border regions of the Russian Federation.

Probably I really want to see how the Russian b / t crosses the border and in orderly columns moves in the direction of the line of contact. And the fact that the Americans supply Kiev with their intelligence is probably not known only to the western man in the street. Of course, there was no reason to shoot the drone, because he did not even cross the border line of contact between the warring parties.

Why?
Yes, because the project "Ukraine on Fire" is a product of Europe!

[avg-mgn]

Fixed Is the fact of shelling Avdeevka by Ukrainian radicals an American drone? - the question is open.
If you flew at this time over the area, I saw it for sure. But either the information transmission channel crashed at that moment, or the drive was full - in short, seen but not recorded. In Hollywood, they finish drafting as they say - Spartak is so Spartak ... And there the OSCE will wake up and confirm - I have no doubt.

[The leader of the Redskins]

But this is serious news ... Actually, on the “Minsk” flights of any UAVs (except for the OSCE) over the conflict zone are prohibited, but Trampushka, apparently, turned the arrangement on the device. After the Tomahawks, he had such a span as two fingers. Recall the Obamushka spineless is not the last word.
As for the shelling of Avdeevka - information is controversial. In terms of shelling was, but where and from what - a lot of questions. Ukrainian media reports that from the DNI, Basurin pulls a blanket over himself. Most likely he juggles the cards - Avdeevka is under the APU (lovers of topics can be tensed about provocative self-shelling). But that's not all - law enforcement officers (banned in the Russian Federation) do not have heavy weapons like howitzers! They are not controlled by either the army or the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and no one gives guns to these scumbags, no matter how they howl. Used as infantry and all! ...

Wiki, but still:

Perhaps their "lack of control" is somewhat exaggerated ...

[Sergey Kranov]

I’m the leader of cr-x: You say, Basurin juggles the cards ... Well, for an amateur, look for a reason for provocative shelling, “strain” and find on the Internet about a month ago, like a dill tank with 300m. shot at a 9-story building in Avdeevka.
How did you manage to get a Russian passport, because you are always on the side of the ukrofashists, you have to "hit" the FSB, let them take you into development. Surely you are a mishandled Cossack.
I mentioned your Kiev father last time in "diminutive form," because I thought he was younger than me / I am 68 /, but if I am mistaken and he has already been issued a certificate of "Veteran Maidan", then I apologize.

[The leader of the Redskins]

Well then ... point by point. The shelling I had in mind in this particular case. War crimes over the past three years have plagued the two Hague. I have had a Russian passport since 1992. There were neither Ukrofashists, nor Bandera then ... By the way, this is an interesting observation - they have not been there for more than twenty years, we went to visit them, were related, started joint business, and then again! ... And that’s it! And all of a sudden they became banderlogs. So, should I visit my father and call Bandera from the doorway or drink tea for a start? Nothing that he is my father? Nothing that his cousin somewhere near Ivano-Frankivsk, the forest brothers tortured so that strangers cried when they found the body? !! And I need him BANDER? !!
He was not on the Maidan. Wrong years and health. But he took the revolution positively. Adult man, not me to re-educate him. He is younger than you at 4 of the year. And the whole difference between you and me is that you immediately put up labels, and I keep quiet - because I see two sides of the coin. I agree with something, with something not. And write to the FSB ... You still found Beria, he welcomed those ...

[Sergey Kranov]

Leader cr-x: I see something in something was wrong. I repent. But all this does not cancel my attitude towards you, because you judging by your comments ALWAYS on the side of the ukrofashists. I promise you that I will not mention your father in vain. But I will never forgive your arrogant koment about our fighter sniper "At the level of the 1st year of journalism." The kid quit a profitable job and went to fight for his homeland, and you are so vile with contempt. HATE!

[AID.S]

Quote: Sergey Kranov

I HATE!

But this is in vain, you are not in a bayonet attack ....

[The leader of the Redskins]

Your right ... I hate too. But not just a single person, but in general THIS war. We are used to the fact that the enemy must be defeated somewhere there ... Overseas, or at least far away. These are bearded terrorists, snickering Americans and swaggering Anglo-Saxons ... And now I come across that all the terminology on which I was raised applies to my father, my childhood comrades. Although I see that they have not changed at all.
I wrote a comment not about the kid, but about the article. There are hundreds of thousands of such broken fates on both sides of the front line. Do you live in the Donetsk republic (region)? Do you know Mova? Watch some Ukrainian programs - there are a lot of named cases. Only there propaganda broadcasts in Ukrainian, with us - in Russian. The tragedies are the same.
Is the guy fighting for his land? The atoshniks proclaim the same thing. While we break virtual spears war breaks real lives ...

[Sergey Kranov]

I’m the leader of cr-x: if you don’t see the difference between ukrofashists, punishers who kill civilians and residents of Donbass, who protect their home and relatives, then this is your essence, the representative of the 5th column. I have 4 plates and I can watch all free and all paid / NTV + it.p./, but I deleted all the dill channels in order not to accidentally break the TV. Yesterday, your favorite “atoshniks” simply shot the man’s legs for not responding to their fascist greeting . I would like to know your opinion about this. It’s not the same as the last time about the "calming down Ukrainian. Conflict."

I don’t know if the Americans provide intelligence to Kiev, but they would be very important. We don’t have such tools.
For its part, the Russian Federation provides data to its side. Logically, the United States can. But in reality, we won’t know for sure.
