A Russian fighter intercepted an American RQ-4B Global Hawk drone over the Black Sea

A Russian fighter jet intercepted an American RQ-4B Global Hawk reconnaissance drone approaching the border over the Black Sea. The press service of the Ministry of Defense reported this.

Russian air defense airspace control systems detected an unidentified air target approaching the state border of the Russian Federation. In order to identify and intercept it, a Su-27 fighter of the air defense duty forces was taken into the air. When approaching the target, it was determined that this was an American reconnaissance drone trying to get as close as possible to Crimea.

The crew of the Russian fighter identified the aerial target as a reconnaissance UAV RQ-4B Global Hawk of the US Air Force

- it is spoken in the message of the Ministry of Defense.

Our fighter “intercepted” an American drone, and the drone, having spotted the Russian plane, made a U-turn and moved away from the Russian border. The fighter returned safely to its home airfield. As emphasized, there were no violations of the state border.

Note that recently the American Drones constantly hovering near the Black Sea coast, they are especially often noticed during Kyiv’s attack on the Russian peninsula. It is possible that the American drones act as relays for operators of Ukrainian unmanned boats, and also record the results of the attack, after which they transmit this data to Kyiv.

Let us recall that in March of this year, one American MQ-9 Reaper drone of the US Air Force already fell into the Black Sea, as it was not in the right place at the right time. The crew of the Russian Su-27 fighter was nominated for state awards.

It’s a pity that they let me leave and didn’t drop me....
It was necessary to suppress the electronic warfare and drop it.
There’s no point in messing around with drones.

[igorbrsv]

Reaper was dragged away. It was necessary to drop the hawk as well. Probably we just couldn’t catch him in the stream

Is there evidence that the Reaper was dragged away? Of course, I believe the words from the Moscow Region, but is there any material evidence?

[Sevastiec]

There were also 2 cases in Syria, according to FB. They didn’t water it with a stream, but filled it with traps.

[spirit]

What? Do we have an analogue of the EA-18G Growler?
It’s the Americans who have these electronic warfare on aircraft carriers, we have a whole zoo, as far as I know, only on the basis of the old Il20 there is something and what it can do
The RQ-4B Global Hawk is a big question.

[igorbrsv]

A Canadian destroyer in the Black Sea seems to have turned off the Su-24

[faiver]

yeah, and also the death star and the eighth intergalactic expedition....

this is a little strange... for standard actions, for routine, you can say. I didn’t knock you down, and I didn’t finish myself off with kerosene...

[faridg7]

No, the pilot who dropped the drone in March was awarded, now without consequences and without awards

[DymOk_v_dYmke]

Quote: faridg7

now there are no consequences and no rewards

It would be better with consequences and rewards.

The drone that spotted the Russian plane made a U-turn and moved away from the Russian border.

It would be better if he went towards the interface between the air and water environments.
Then the reward is not a pity for the one who gave the command to drown.

The year 2023 was coming to an end, and there were also sightings of the electronic warfare of the Khibiny and the destroyer Cook. Yes, it's funny. :)

[sifgame]

How did you turn it off? Did you pull the switch? Stop spreading this story with a serious face.

[Escariot]

That’s right, but I turned it off with the Khibiny electronic warfare system, which was never installed on the Su-24. This is such a squiggle.

[Sergey39]

They installed them hanging on the wing. Cook was turned off in 2014. After this incident, 27 crew members were written off.

[Nesvoy]

So maybe you won’t be unfounded and show at least one photo or video of a Su-24 from the electronic warfare of Khibiny? Now the amers themselves from Cook filmed a video of how the dryer flew over them and there were no Khibiny there. It is a fact.

[alexku69]

At least if you come across clearly crazy news, check it. It’s not a time to post stupid nonsense....

[Argon]

Stick a magnetic bomb in his tail if we are afraid to shoot him down.

Blinding with a laser is an option. If, of course, we have such ones. And yes, they should be sent with electronic warfare, not fighters. By the way, how are our Khibiny Mountains doing? Are they saving all the best in case of big trouble? So if you hold it, we’ll wait for that very nimble after all.

[Wolfskin1993]

"Khibiny" does not work. Now the eggheads are coming up with something else.

[igorbrsv]

Rather, turning on the reb may be considered an attack. But they did not cross space. And the information that is not taken is accurate or just a guess? So eggheads invent something all the time

[Soldatov V.]

There are two big differences, a robot drone and an airplane with a pilot or crew. If you shoot down a UAV, there will be no war. And with the crew too. We didn’t start a war with Israel when they shot down our AWACS plane with its crew.
In general, it looks like they are again trying to strike at the Crimean Bridge, they repaired it, great, you’ll get another arrival. British-Jewish tactics.

Maybe then we can start gutting the US and NATO satellite constellation?
There's "no crew" there!

1. The Syrians shot down a missile defense system from the S-200V complex
2.IL was not AWACS but RTR... these are 2 big differences

So this “AWACS plane” was shot down not by Israel, but by the Syrians. The long-range S-200 and poorly trained operators are a terrible combo.

[vlad svargin_2]

Are you talking about this plane “On September 17, 2018, an Il-20 was shot down while landing at the Khmeimim base in Syria. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the plane was shot down by mistake by the Syrian S-200 complex while repelling an Israeli air raid in the province of Latakia. All those present 15 Russian servicemen died on board." Then the Israeli plane "hid" using our IL

[dmi.pris1]

You see, they came up with it. Interception in quotes. Cool written.

[Third district]

It’s like the famous phrase about negative economic growth. And here there was a conditional interception. The Americans and small Britons conduct reconnaissance using these drones, prepare information for sabotage groups and select targets for their missiles. Which they supply to the outskirts. And ours are afraid to shoot down this drone.

[dmi.pris1]

Of course they don’t work. How can you jam a destroyer from an airplane? Electronically? The energy capacities are incomparable

[Horon]

Don't confuse emy with suppression. Physically, a device that fits into a matchbox can suppress cellular communications within a radius of tens of meters and with an output power of less than 0,5 watts. This is much less than the total power of the phones in the affected area, and even less than the base station with its hundreds of watts of output.
And a virus that has entered your computer can make it unviable, having no independent energy content at all; it generally uses only those energies that the computer itself operates on.

[igorbrsv]

Why not a fighter? After treating the drone with heat traps, the ripper plopped into the sea. You can also stream it. Or dump fuel. Knights or swifts would go there. They know how to land "accidentally". And this will not be an attack

[Alexander Grigoryev_2]

Knights and Swifts are just a show. In no way applicable to combat use.

[Bear]

Well, they didn’t guess right. All pilots of these groups have either “1st class” or “masters”, and not formally, but with full training. Not only that, but they also took part in combat missions more than once. And by the way, all the elements of the “show” are methods for use.

Pilots do not have a “master”, they only have a “pilot-sniper”.

I apologize, I didn’t know, I judged by my expertise.

Masterly piloting and control of the “sphincters” is just what is needed.

[igorbrsv]

. Knights and Swifts are just a show. In no way applicable to combat use.

It’s just a show for the people at parades. This is practicing aerobatic maneuvers. They are necessary both in combat, if it suddenly happens that fighters are nearby, and for avoiding a missile attack. As well as reaction speed, decision making, machine control, instant understanding of instrument readings

[sifgame]

Here on topvar there is an article about the Khibiny Mountains, educate yourself so as not to write nonsense.

[AAK]

Well, the Global Hawk is much more interesting than the Reaper in the sense of tinkering with the electronic stuffing... I had to let it get closer, and then arrange a kerosene shower...

[Bear]

Nothing special, I think mattress covers have a very high degree of unification in production. Having data on Reaper, with 99% we can estimate that it is on Hawk.

[Ross xnumx]

The fighter returned safely to its home airfield. As emphasized, there were no violations of the state border.

Was intelligence gathering carried out?
And at what distance is this Hawk capable of reconnaissance?
Why didn’t the Russian attack drone send this product to the bottom in a neutral airspace?

[Dirty Liar]

This is not how questions should be formulated. Correct wording:

Why unknown attack drone, unknown by whom launched from unknown targets in neutral waters, why didn’t this hostile drone shoot down?

[Neo-9947]

Somali pirates are interested in American drones.
Have you had any accidents over the Black Sea?
Will be.

[dmi.pris1]

You are asking a fair question. The answer is the absence of a man’s belongings in those who give the order. For example, the Iranians have it all.

[tank_killer156]

A Russian fighter jet “intercepted” an American RQ-4B Global Hawk drone over the Black Sea - maybe you need to accidentally shoot them down, otherwise then, due to a strange circumstance, something flies across Crimea.

[Sergey3]

If you didn’t teach him to swim, it means you didn’t catch him.

[RuAbel]

Eh, we missed it again! Now is the time to punch Uncle Joe on the nose!

[Andrey Andreev_2]

What kind of tactics are so toothless?? They would have launched us a kilometer beyond our borders and drowned us!! Why push them out and not let them in?

[Asad]

Do you really think that a spy would violate our border!?

[RuAbel]

Yeah, we hope! Not this time, then next time. Americans, they're stupid. And arrogant. The main thing is not to scare him away and let him get closer.

[kill the fascist]

I join those who wrote earlier - it’s a pity that they didn’t shoot it down.

Attacks in neutral airspace can provoke retaliatory measures, including attacks by our aircraft. Do you want to compete with the NATO Air Force?

[digger]

Why didn’t I understand! And from which old prehistoric Su-27s do the Russian Air Force still fly? Why is there no Su-30Sm at least .. and even where there is now a batch and the best weapon is needed?

[faiver]

what for? it was possible to send an antediluvian thread, like a training Albatross - the effect would be the same

[Bear]

On the issue of the prehistoric SU-27. https://ya.ru/video/preview/362521820750831477

[Andrey Andreev_2]

Didn't intercept, but escorted))) Weaklings!!

[igorbrsv]

What was he supposed to do to grab him? He didn't break anything. Why weaklings? Has someone crossed our border? Apart from this, no one has done this for a long time

[Oleg A]

It’s unrealistic to shoot down directly. Once it happened, now there will be a scream. But I think you can try to use an interceptor UAV. Like we collided in the air by accident, we deeply apologize...

[KLM77]

Or maybe without “We accidentally collided in the air, we offer our deepest apologies...” to silently shoot them down?

[faiver]

Oh, how the “sofa beaters” went wild God forbid they let you near the nuclear button, I’d also get a driver’s license

[Fangaro]

Is this something completely unusual in the modern world?
Americans (and Europeans who know how) fly near our borders. We accompany them. Sometimes ours will fly over the Baltic or the Norwegian Sea. Then those who know how to fly accompany ours.
Or is everything wrong, and they wanted to, but we didn’t allow them to?

[igorbrsv]

It's been like this for decades. Everyone flies near the borders, they always raise an interceptor to make it clear - “we see you, don’t be impudent.” This means that there is an opportunity to shoot down. But no one knocks anyone down. Apart from a few incidents. This has been happening for decades, and now everyone is asking why they didn’t shoot it down. Because there is no reason. It's not forbidden to fly there

[Svetlana]

Unidentified means dangerous. Luccheb was shot down.
..

[TermNachTer]

Why didn't they repeat the trick like last time? It would be interesting how the mattress pads will react?

[Vladimir M]

“As emphasized, there were no violations of the state border.” Or maybe it would be better to “allow a violation” of the state border and bring down the adversary? And of course it sounds proudly “not allowed”, but in fact....

[cheburator]

It was necessary to piss on him again so that he could not stand the shame and collapse!

[75 Sergey]

Isn't it a little expensive for us to intercept a drone as a full-fledged fighter?
Maybe we can make something smaller, unmanned?

[agond]

The most optimal would be for the RQ-4B to collide with an unknown drone.

[Toorik]

they started to get impudent again...

[PVV66]

Intercepted means destroyed. And what happened was simply driven away from the border. Our command has no guts to shoot down the intruder.

[Bear]

How about developing Hawk's signature in various modes of exchanging information with the base? This is invaluable information. The guys from electronic warfare are working, don’t write. Easiest to shoot down. We need to think broader and deeper.

[PVV66]

Since 2014, we have had plenty of opportunities to develop a signature. This is not the first day that mattress covers have been flying along the Crimea.

[Alexander Grigoryev_2]

Quote from: DirtyLiar

Because they weren't created like that. Although they could, it’s an obvious thing.

[Eleazar bin Shaul]

Created in cartoons by the Ministry of Defense. there are such

[bobnew2017]

The enemy must be shot down, not intercepted! After such approaches, the shelling of peaceful Russian cities intensifies!

[VLAD-96]

What does "intercepted" mean?
We must write it as it actually is - it flew out to intercept and the interception did not take place, the enemy retreated to neutral territory..
If he had intercepted it, he would have been destroyed or defeated accordingly!
And it just scared me away!

[julian34700]

No need to rush! Let him come 10 meters into our space and shoot him down.

[avionic]

The fighter returned safely from its home airfield and took down the fucking reconnaissance UAV RQ-4B Global Hawk of the US Air Force. It's more pleasant for the soul.

[Poplar]

I have a question for the experts: does this Pindosian crap fly in neutral airspace? Of course, I can figure it out myself, search and google it, I just don’t have enough time and it’s easier to ask someone who knows, rather than make my own guesses. If in neutral space, then our UAVs can fly there quite legally, but you never know what can happen: the automation failed, the rudders got stuck, they accidentally collided. Well, in general: sorry, we didn’t mean to, it just happened that way.

[Eleazar bin Shaul]

Our UAVs are only in cartoons for cutting the budget. and in cartoons there are no such LLAs that can come close to the USA. We need air bases in Nicaragua.

[Al manah]

Can not. If they could, they would fly and collide.

The question is the availability of UAVs that can ram the Hawk. He flies quite high and fast.

Yes, yes.. Diamond and dissolution are for combat use...

[Eleazar bin Shaul]

An interception is a shoot down. It's always been that way. No need to drive mu-mu seriously. xy there is an interception???

[Al manah]

Interception - in aviation, the approach of an air defense aircraft (interceptor aircraft) to the aircraft -violator for the purpose of identifying him, indicating to his crew violation and subsequent removal of the offender from the territory restricted area or escort to the nearest landing airfield.

What did that drone do? Flew into our airspace or into a restricted area? Those who don’t have a clear answer can simply downvote.

[Sasha from Uralmash]

He intercepted him and planted him! Otherwise he just accompanied him and wished him good luck!

[Elena Bashkatova]

Somehow he didn’t intercept it convincingly, but if he had forced him to land, then that would have been the case!
