Pentagon spokesman: Reconnaissance UAVs have to fly south of previous routes over the Black Sea after the Russians shot down MQ-9

On American television, they analyze the situation with intelligence over the Black Sea, primarily in relation to Russian military activity in Crimea. The CNN report says that after the well-known incident with the American drone MQ-9 Reaper command had to change the routes of reconnaissance flights.

From a CNN report:



According to a senior Pentagon official, American drones now fly south of the former routes. The official said the drones are flying further away from the coast of Ukraine, as there is a threat that they will be shot down.

It is noted that the decision to change reconnaissance routes was made "after the Russians shot down an MQ-9 Reaper over the Black Sea."

Recall that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation pointed out the absence of direct contact between Su-27 fighters and UAVs of the US Air Force.

A Pentagon spokesman said that "now the quality of US intelligence over the Black Sea south of Crimea has declined."

Thus, since the incident with the “kerosene shower” for the Reaper, American drones no longer approach that zone in the airspace near the Crimean peninsula, which was previously declared by the Russian Ministry of Defense as a zone with restricted flights in connection with a special operation. The boundaries of one of these zones were violated by an American drone, eventually ending up at the bottom.

      That's how useful it is sometimes to drown impudent Americans.
      Their brains immediately fall into place and their exclusivity is turned off.

          If the propeller was damaged, the steamer in our stern was shaking and these were not aviation revolutions of a maximum of 150 - 200 revolutions per minute. Filming from the Pentagon is a lie.

          It is noted that the decision to change reconnaissance routes was made "after the Russians shot down an MQ-9 Reaper over the Black Sea."
          But fighters began to accompany manned reconnaissance RC-135s.

          RC-135s began to fly with escort after another incident, when our Su-27 fighter, as a result of a "technical failure", fired a rocket next to the Briton. It was back in September last year. In fact, after that, they appeared in the Black Sea only once in November 2022 to show that they are brave with a couple of Typhoons. And after that, they didn’t meddle in the sea until the incident with the “downed” MQ-9 Reaper.
          Here again a situation arose when it was necessary to demonstrate one's "courage" to the Americans. So they poked their head into the Black Sea again, accompanied by a pair of Typhoons. We approached the Crimea for 200 kilometers, as if heading towards Sochi, and turned off the transponders. Where they flew next, only they themselves and our air defense know. Since the transponders were turned off, it meant that they wanted to hide from everyone the maneuver to deviate the course far south to the coast of Turkey, bypassing the "no-fly zone" we had established. Then they turned around and at the same point, 200 kilometers from the Crimea, turned on the transponders, left for Romania and for the second round along the same route. And the same manipulations with transponders.
          So the "brave" British were not substituted for our air defense and electronic warfare. Flew away from sin.

        The British do not enter the restricted zone, they shave the fence with their wing. They probably remember Putin's words, no one will start World War III because of the destroyer. It was a warning. Flyradar to help
        And this began before the visit of Xi Jinping. And how is it now the PRC media, Russia says well done. Do we all want to die in World War III? Or is it better to achieve our goals without the use of strategic nuclear forces?

          Someone already gave you a couple of minuses. And what is wrong? Let the minusers look at the flight route of the "brave" British intelligence officers and answer the question why they turned off the transponders before reaching the Crimea 200 kilometers, if such brave ones are covered by a couple of fighters.

        But fighters began to accompany manned reconnaissance RC-135s.

        So what?
        The main purpose of the aircraft is to determine the location of various objects of a potential enemy, reveal his plans for the use of weapons and technical means, as well as early warning of missile attacks and other hostile actions. In addition, the winged reconnaissance aircraft acts as a relay point for all types of communications, transmitting data on priority targets to the command posts of the ground forces and fighters in the air. RC-135, unlike another famous spy plane - U-2 - mcan provide operations to intercept targets at a distance of up to 240 km (for U-2, this figure is 280 km. - due to the higher flight altitude)

        Flew to the borders closer than 240 km - get a rocket ...
        That's how you need to wean them to collect data ..
        And spit over the territory of which country they fly ...

          I'm certainly not a pilot, but I trust the opinion of professional pilots. Our fighters, unlike bombers, do not have the ability to dump fuel. This duck was let in by the Americans. There was no release of kerosene.

            Ah, and in the event of any emergency, fighters are forced to land on the runway with full tanks of kerosene, even from light aircraft, like the Yak-52, fuel is provided for draining, but not with the SU-27, well, you have true professionals in your consultants

              That is, the honored test pilot of the Russian Federation, Major General Magomed Tolboev is not an authority for you.
              American sources say that our plane overflew and began to release fuel, which hit the drone. What is it for and is it true?

              “For the rest of my life I remembered the phrase of Mikhail Zadornov: “If the Americans are fools, then this is for life.” There was no drain of fuel from a fighter in the history of Soviet and Russian aviation. Because sometimes we ourselves do not have enough fuel for the flight. Our planes do not have a device that would allow fuel to be drained. I tested the fighters of the Soviet Union and Russia. We do not have such a fuel drain system. There are on bombers, but not on fighters. We, on the contrary, refuel in the air from the tanker, because there is not enough to complete the task.

      The waters to the south are neutral, which means we have the right to escort these drones. Why not. Clarify telemetry transmission frequencies, intelligence data transmission channels, evaluate UAV controllability in SMU conditions (irrigation with kerosene from above), fire resistance. Nobody forbade us to play their games. The Black Sea should be our inland sea and there is no place for the American snout in it, both in the air and on the water.

      I wrote before and I will repeat again:
      in the context of confrontation with the NATO gathering, Russia is obliged to announce that it will shoot down any air reconnaissance means if it considers that they are collecting and transmitting data to enemies !!!

        Information publicly available from Flightradar. The RC-135, escorted by a pair of Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4s, has flown over the Black Sea twice already: in November 2022 after a missile was launched from our Su-27 and in March 2023 after a downed American drone.

        It's almost the same as it was in Syria. As soon as ours went to ram the mattresses and “brain-shake” five lovers of Syrian oil, the information immediately disappeared from the news field that the mattresses obstruct the passage of convoys of the Russian military police, blocking the advance with their equipment. Everything was understood and realized immediately from the very first ram.
