The emergence of the "elusive" drone RQ-170 Sentinel in the vicinity of the plant in Palmdale is being discussed in the USA
In the United States, images of an unmanned aerial vehicle have appeared, which is often called the "elusive" or "Beast of Kandahar". We are talking about an updated version of the RQ-170 Sentinel UAV, aka Stealth Spy Drone - a reconnaissance drone with implemented stealth technology.
The drone flew in the area of the 42nd plant in Palmdale (California).
This model of UAV is widely known for the fact that, according to the Pentagon, it was she who at one time helped track down terrorist "number one" Osama bin Laden. Earlier it was also reported that one of the RQ-170 Sentinels fell into the hands of the Iranian military, who “could study implemented on drone technologies".
In the United States, the question of what the RQ-170 Sentinel UAV was doing in the area of \u42b\uXNUMXbplant XNUMX, which is owned by Lockheed Skunk Works, is being discussed. It is noted that previously there was no information that the production of these drones-spies may be connected to the 42nd plant in California.
Eyewitnesses note the presence of orange stripes on the drone's fuselage. It is assumed that these stripes are applied during test flights so that the control aircraft, which is in the sky above the test UAV, can control the phases of its flight. It is also reported that the drone quickly disappeared into the sky. According to other sources, he just landed after a few minutes of flight.
It is assumed that the RQ-170 Sentinel over Palmdale may be a UAV that was withdrawn from Afghanistan. But if so, what tests can we talk about? ..
