Quote HistoryQuoted: At the other end of the scale, the drone crashed on its own but our government does want to blame Russia and escalate things, but they don't want to give Russia the victory of shooting down a drone so they say it was a collision  Or we shot it down ourselves... |

Russian MoD disputes US Air Force’s version on the MQ-9 reaper drone which crashed into the Black Sea.
Moscow says the drone crashed into the water as a result of “quick manoeuvring” after Su-27 jets were scrambled to intercept it. “The Russian aircraft did not use on-board weapons, did not come into contact with the unmanned aerial vehicle.” |

I don't have personal experience on the MQ-9 but the operators I've spoken to indicated that it has improved quite a bit over the years. Around the 2012ish time period I was told it was around 500-1500ms IIRC. Currently it's closer to 200ms. No idea how accurate that is. If it's true it's close to digital LOS systems in use. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: An ISR platform flying in international airspace is direct troop involvement? LOL You know not what you speak of. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: We were caught providing direct US troop support to the Ukrainians. The correct response by Russia is to escalate to direct action against the U.S. forces in the area while signaling to the Chinese to escalate their efforts by invading Taiwan while both release their records detailing FJB’s criminal actions. If they both act, Joe, Joe the dancing clown will fold like a cheap tent and both enemy states can keep what they kill. An ISR platform flying in international airspace is direct troop involvement?
