The US Navy held reconnaissance near the Crimea

Meanwhile, it became known about the flight of the American strategic drone RQ-4A Global Hawk along the demarcation line in Donbass. This UAV also took off from Sigonella airbase.

Having flown over the Donbas at an altitude of about 16 kilometers, he found himself in 100 kilometers from the Crimea. In addition, the UAV flew in 40-50 kilometers from the border areas of Belgorod, Voronezh and Rostov regions of Russia. In this case, the RQ-4A Global Hawk can conduct exploration into the depths of the territory to 300 kilometers.

Why it is impossible to declare the types of NATO aircraft and the restricted area for these aircraft, for which they will be shot down. If you warn or voice the conditions of behavior near our borders, what kind of aggression it is, these are good intentions aimed at peaceful coexistence with NATO.

              And what, this one that you listed allows you to shoot down and drown in neutral waters and airspace whatever you like? What does the presence of missiles in the Koreans and islands in the Chinese? Piled everything in one pile. And if in return they begin to destroy our reconnaissance ships and aircraft, which are located off the coast of adversaries. This is not a couch.

Naturally nothing !!!! I can only say that Russian countermeasures against impudent tricks would be tough and comprehensive. I don’t know how our air defense would be shot down by a reconnaissance drone, but I would send our drone towards it with a powerful jammer or kamikaze and the Americans’ claim, referred to the warning and protection of our security.

      getting dressed in the morning from the American air base Sigonella, on the island of Sicily, Global Hauk flew over all of eastern Europe and entered the airspace of Ukraine on the Romanian border.
      Having passed from Lugansk to Mariupol at an altitude of about 17 kilometers, turned right towards Nikolaev, after which he inspected military bases and airfields in the Crimea in the region of Sevastopol. Then he reached Novorossiysk, turned back and landed at his native air base late in the evening. The mission lasted more than 16 hours.
      The base patrol "Poseidon" also started from Sigonella, but limited to flying to Sevastopol. The flight took place at an altitude of 8 thousand meters, after which he also returned to Sicily.

    Everyone is peeping, sticking their nose into all the cracks - it is time to nip their curious organs, but without hooliganism. All the same fly over "their" territory - hohlopopyh do not even ask permission (the owner does not ask the serf for it!). It is necessary that the jamming director fly opposite - then the Yankees will peel off with their curiosity!

    Yes, it’s a pity of course that our air defense was not intercepted with a “hibin.” Maybe they began to fly less.

    It seems that the Americans put in good luli to our kings for the previous intercepts of their reconnaissance aircraft, and our Supreme Commander-in-Chief forbade our aces to tickle the nerves of Amers. Otherwise, how can we explain that this amer flew in direct line of sight of Sevastopol and Novorossiysk, and there were no interceptions and escort by our "very best".
    This is to be expected.

    An American reconnaissance aircraft off our Black Sea coast, a warship of the US Navy in Odessa ... Americans are clearly preparing to influence the outcome of the presidential election in the southern regions of our country and in the North Caucasus.

    Information for consideration:
    - The Russian Defense Ministry almost directly accused Ukraine of participating in a terrorist attack by drones.
    - GDP: “As for the prospects for a settlement in the Donbass, this takes on the character of a frozen conflict. No one is interested in this, including Russia" ... "we would be satisfied with the implementation of the Minsk agreements" (but everyone understands that Poroshenko has it will not work).
    -Significant build-up with the combat coordination of units and formations on the border with Ukraine.
    - Deployment of additional S-400 divisions.
    - U.S. intelligence (aircraft and frigate).
    - March 2018 Elections
    Conclusion: we are waiting for an occasion from Ukraine for the final completion of the conflict in the Donbass by force, - by the forces of the 1st and 2nd buildings of the LDPR until March-April 2018.
