The US Navy continues to replace manned reconnaissance aircraft drones. The US military command and Northrop Grumman Systems signed a contract for the supply of the second batch of MQ-4C Triton unmanned aerial vehicles, reports "Warspot" message portal navaltoday.com

The drone MQ-4C Triton made its first flight in October 2014 of the year, and two years later the US Navy ordered the first batch of these machines. Today it became known that the US military command paid for the production of three more machines, as well as ground equipment for them. The transaction value is estimated at $ 303,9 million.

UAV MQ-4C Triton


In 2008, the US Department of Defense and Northrop Grumman signed a long-term contract worth $ 1,164 billion to develop and build special UAVs that could replace manned reconnaissance aircraft. At the request of the military, the developers have assembled a drone, called MQ-4C Triton. The reconnaissance vehicle was liked by the US military, and now the Northrop Grumman company is carrying out its small-scale assembly. The long-term plans of the US Navy include the purchase of at least 68 units of MQ-4C Triton, which will allow you to abandon reconnaissance aircraft.

The MQ-4C Triton is a high-altitude long-range unmanned aerial vehicle designed for information gathering, surveillance and reconnaissance in the coastal zone. Triton is based on drone The RQ-4 Global Hawk, also developed by Northrop Grumman, can climb to over 17 km, fly at 575 km/h and stay in the air for up to 24 hours. The reconnaissance equipment of the new drone includes a multifunctional radar, video camera, electro-optical / infrared sensors, radio intelligence, automatic identification system (AIS) and relay equipment. This equipment allows the device to detect and automatically classify various types of surface objects.

        In addition to the names of the complexes in advertising, little is said, all specifications on the bar. The reality is that it’s not beneficial for anyone for political or advertising purposes to admit that electronic warfare systems were used and that the equipment was suppressed by interference.

        The head of the foreign ministry explained that this “concerns their program of creating“ targets, ”similar in characteristics to banned intermediate and shorter-range missiles, the use of shock unmanned aerial vehicles that fall within the definition of ground-based medium-range cruise missiles, as well as launchers as part of ground-based missile defense systems, which can also be used for firing cruise missiles.

        About Abramovich I advise you to ask the residents of Chukotka.
        Today, years after the actual departure of Abramovich from Chukotka, many are asking the question: “Was Abramovich?” Where did the energy and powerful development that were felt in the first years of his leadership of the region go? Where are those "Komsomol" inspirations and the belief that tomorrow will be better than today? Isn't all this a dream?
        But no, it was, we say to people who first arrived in Chukotka with pride showing the most colorful city in Russia - Anadyr. Was, they say villagers living in cozy cottages. There was, remember young people, leafing through a photo album where they are happy fifteen years ago, resting at the best children's recreation centers. Everyone remembers Abramovich with sadness and a little with nostalgia, realizing that a lucky ticket falls in life only once.

      And what do you REALLY know about the property of their nouveau riche? Whole countries "buy" themselves there, houses inside are finished so that the louvre museum is breathing nervously, and on the boats there is the key "to stick out" !! But if necessary, the Rockefeller aircraft carrier will be allowed to go fishing and no one will blather.
      May I remind you of a story: in the suburbs of Moscow, the motorcade of the owner of three banks and "part-time" grandson of the FSB general overtook a plain-looking sedan, the "offended" grandson ordered the guards to "catch up and teach a lesson"; It is said - done, they caught up with Gelenvagen tea not a miserable fiat - they “taught a lesson” and the happy granddaughter went on about his business. Yes, it’s a bad luck - not an hour passed before their motorcade was clamped at a traffic light and very, very rudely muzzled the FSO with muzzles on the asphalt belay all squeals and attempts to “shine” with crusts - followed by blows to the kidneys. During the search, they found - weapons, drugs, extremist literature. No. and on the same day, without delay, the grandson was soldered (no, not for a subscription) and a full prison without any concessions! The employees of his banks, who had no understanding of the situation, were deprived of any kind of leadership at all - from the owner himself to deputy director. EVERYTHING simply dematerialized like morning fog laughing . In general, the granddaughter was closed - for a lot.
      But much later it became clear - the security guards of the Dutchman, an employee of a Gazprom subsidiary with a very strange surname Rockefeller (he was not the first family member), had kicked him off, and there were also rumors that this Dutchman seemed to have an amorous relationship with a certain girl with the name Py and dad had BB feel bully
