      Oh, not easy.
      But the fact that US drones do not go astray is a wild flaw in the Russian Federation.

        Elon Musk's neural networks drew a picture for the request "Russian warship"

        I counted five churches on the deck, two NATO warships and one American helicopter tangled in the crosses of churches nearby.

        Well, to be honest, if we start shooting down American UAVs, then they can start shooting down our manned aircraft. Their aircraft carriers are not all under repair.

        There is no place here for dreams and chimeras,

        All in a single column are considered
        Equally - a businessman!
        On tops, caps and caps
        A rain of stocks whistles and pours.
        That's where the world chains are to you,
        This is where the world swindler is.
        If you want to burst out your soul here,
        That will be considered: either stupid, or drunk.

        Here they are - scoundrels of all countries.

        IMHO, they don’t put electronic warfare on transport workers? What prevented them from drowning out the channels and dropping them to the ground? The more we almond, the more we will wipe our feet.

      And if you land a couple of their UAVs, will it be further disputed, is it airspace?

      If he saw them and was able to dodge them, why didn't the pilots have the courage to fill up the drone with their wake, sort of by accident.
      In any case, it was possible to try more than once.

        This is a transporter. As a type created more than half a century ago. Specifically, this aircraft may be 10-15 years younger. Maximum speed 450 in the horizon. It's good that they were able to dodge

          This aircraft has a take-off weight of 23 tons, and Bayraktarov 700 kg. The difference is very big. Therefore, the UAV can simply fold its wings when it gets into the wake of the An-26.

      Well, it’s right that they will continue to become impudent, they blew up our gas pipelines - there is “silence” from our side, now we can send a drone to our An-26. In the event of an accident, "they will turn on a fool", they will say - it happened.

      If you say that US flights are "illegal", shoot them down. And if you knock down the gut, it’s better to silently fly around them and don’t tryndit about “legality” on the air.

      It is necessary to land drones or disorientate, but it is better to send them to Israel and bang on the ground there. Where is our electronic warfare? There is no need to stand on ceremony after gas pipelines.
