American RQ-4A Global Hawk conducted reconnaissance in North-West Russia

A long-range strategic drone of the US Air Force RQ-4A Global Hawk made a reconnaissance flight along the borders of the Leningrad, Pskov and Kaliningrad regions.

According to monitoring data from Western aviation resources, this unit at night rose from the Sigonella airbase in Sicily. The drone crossed the borders of Greece, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Poland, entered the airspace of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and then cruised along the air and sea borders of the North-West of Russia during the previous day.

The American unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was at an altitude of 16 kilometers and was moving at an average speed of 630 kilometers per hour.

About strategic drones The US Air Force RQ-4A Global Hawk is known to carry high-definition cameras, infrared sensors and radar to track moving objects. These automatic scouts can track the situation to a depth of 300 kilometers.

It can also track point targets and transmit information about their location via satellite communication channel. Add that RQ-4A Global Hawk can be in the air for 30 hours at an altitude of up to 18 000 meters.

From open sources it is known that the price of one such device is 140 million dollars, and the hour of its flight costs over 130 thousand dollars, reports "RG-Force"

When does the military move now? Satellites, raptors graze around, but you have to live.

Back in the seventies, we had a satellite flight schedule on our wall ... As soon as ... so everyone hid ...

Apparently there was no need ... and so everything about him is known.

It’s difficult to drop and plant, it has its own autonomous systems, only the accuracy drops. Yes, and control in the form of an ambulance may be nearby ....

It’s difficult to drop, but you can disrupt the task by scoring communication and information exchange channels ... I don’t believe that your hunks will leave it offline! Pi_ndos they in Africa py_ndosy ...

Drop it! But why didn’t they raise the jammer a couple of kilometers higher and didn’t block the FMS path and the connection with jamming control at least once? This is a question.
So, you look, and we would be taxied into our territory by blindness. And then we would have sorted it out in his own way.
And they would stop flying near the borders, and there is nobody to blame for anything. Everything is decorous and noble, within the borders.

I’ll tell you more, back in '96 we massively depicted a battalion from a company, etc. Then when they became "friends" they stopped.

And I wanted to see something, they would call, We might have told them so

[Settlement Oparyshev]

They checked their agents.

[karabas-barabas]

Well, as it were, the accumulation of equipment and, in general, the concentration of the Russian army are located along the path of this UAV. In addition, radar, air defense systems, airfields, infrastructure. In fact, this is a flying reconnaissance laboratory, a serious machine.

Lived, were, Scent and Bzdyukh.
The scent, as usual, sniffed everything,
Out of breath, stank and everywhere out of breath.
Where the nose smells its nose
Surely Bzdyuh nafunit.
The scent of floral aroma,
Bzdyuh fertilized them, and glad.
Scent in hands with cologne,
There is also Bzdyukh, with guan.
The scent is blooming, fragrant,
Near Bzdyuh stinks, sighs.
The scent soars, inhaling nectar,
Next Bzdyuh, wanders stinking.
So they stomp together
Smell and Bzdyuh, each in his own

and the hour of his flight costs more than 130 thousand dollars, reports "RG-Force"

is there no mistake?
can't cost an hour there.

[Vard]

Maybe ... the average flight cost of foreign fighters is 40 bucks, and this UAV seems much more complicated ...

[just exp]

there it costs so much an hour because the fighter has 2 huge engines that consume tons of fuel, + their maintenance.
and there is only one UAV, it’s economical (so that it could hang on one gas station for a long time) there is no pilot, there is an operator, but the level of training and costs are much lower than that of the pilot, maintenance is also much cheaper.

[Evgenijus]

just explo:

... and there is no one given UAV, it is economical (so that it can hang for a long time on one refueling) there is no pilot, there is an operator, but the level of training and the cost of it are much less than that of the pilot, the service is also much cheaper.

You do not know which team accompanies the flight of this strategic spy. If you count the cost of fuel, it is a miser. There are at least hundreds of specialists in standby mode in different territories and in different countries. All of them have to pay, but not a small amount of money (so that they do not turn into Snowden). For the service of one of this device pay more than all the techniques of the air regiment in Russia (at times). Yes, I didn’t count all ground tracking stations ...

[just exp]

this is not the cost of an hour of flight, this is the cost of data analysis. they have no relation to flight.

[Vlad.by]

And the permission to fly across so many borders do you think the Americans are worthless? Not 130 thousand / hour, but, I believe, the operation of this beast is an expensive enterprise.

There is a mistake. Everywhere is indicated 36 thousands per hour. Where did 130 come from? From the ceiling apparently.

[just exp]

Well, the citizens a little higher said that they can say that the salary of tsrushniki, photo specialists, the work of supercomputers in analyzing data, and even the salary of the parking lot keepers in Langley are included in the flight hour, because they guard the machines of those who analyze photos and videos from this UAV,

Well .... you just need to keep in mind what is called the "net price" of the flight hour. If you count with the associated costs, then no calculation will be correct. It is like when calculating the delivery of goods by railway, by including in the price the construction of a locomotive and railway roads, the wages of the driver and the keeper of the warehouse on which the sleepers lay.

is there no mistake?
can't cost an hour there so much .

Companies patrolling pipeline routes for monitoring leaks and accidents calculate the cost of their services using approximately the same methodology.

The average cost of an UAV flight hour can be simplified as follows:

Threat. I imagine that one salary of the command post operators flies to the American taxpayers in a penny.

[Evgenijus]

Freeman:

... one salary of command center operators flies the American taxpayers into a "pretty penny"

If during the assembly of the missiles and their launch, the salary of installers in the Roskosmos shops and programmers on the East would have cost Russian taxpayers a pretty penny, so our satellites would quietly plow the immense expanses of space above the Earth, and not the bottom of the World Ocean. In the meantime, the golden parachutes of Rogozin’s subjugates fly in with us.

[just exp]

this formula is nonsense, at least for the military, for depreciation is not included in the price of an hour.
because if so, then the price of the aircraft will exceed the price of all of its flight hours, and it turns out that neither the pilots nor the pay for fuel need repair and maintenance.

[rotmistr60]

the price of one such device is 140 million dollars

Interestingly, if one such one was planted on our territory (for some reason, lost orientation, flew into our territory and sat on the airfield) for how long would flights stop?

[Lycan]

Without trying, we won’t know. And the idea is good. At first there was the idea of ​​"shining" into it with something blinding ...
But yours is 100 times better.

There was no team. A commander was found in Iran and ... suddenly, an UAV landed in Iran.
We have "real violent few ...",
or maybe the time has not come yet.
As for the implementation of your proposal, I think, with proper preparation, it’s never a problem to send it in our direction and eventually put it in prison.
But for now, ours is afraid of something. Interestingly, are such raids conducted along the Chinese borders?

About the price it was necessary to tell the local village. The issue would be resolved instantly. The formula of 25% found - to you personally ...

Yeah ... really ... This is not Orlan 10 for you.
Where is the bureaucrat who broadcast a couple of days ago about "... for 5 years ahead of the rest in drones ..."
A picture of this "backward apparatus" was not shown to him?
Yes, no .... I also believe that ahead. And do not show that the enemy did not guess ahead of time. Let them say they think that we only have “Eagles” with rubber-harness catapults and quadrocopters with “Ali Express” ...

I heard a ring, but don’t know where he is. Or maybe he just walked, fell, gypsum and rings in his ears.
1. It was about unmanned ground systems.
2. This generation of UAVs is really outdated, because next-generation systems imply autonomy and decision making. Their management system is economic schizophrenia - the cost of operation exceeds several times that of manned vehicles with incomparably lower efficiency.
I have already repeated and will repeat again: Russia will not copy this nonsense. Therefore, all programs of heavy drones of this generation were closed.

A lost ship, according to the laws of the sea, belongs to the person who found it. In the same way, an aircraft without a team is essentially a draw. Maybe it's time to start knocking them down?

Yes, what kind of satellite are they 100 years old? the orbital constellation is generally outdated.

Yes, through such a thing it’s possible to specifically deuse, and let the specialists break their heads there.
