hopefully, the pilot could bail. not happening if the Reaper blew up in his face. i bet the drone is cheaper than their fighter planes. good trade...

If a F-35 or two get shot down while flying over the black sea, can Putin say it was the Ukes like xiden is doing with the Nord Stream pipes? oopsie. The Russians rally made fun of this destroyer. The Navy knows better than to mess with the rooskies.

The destroyer turned tail and ran. Half the officers resigned it was reported.
What spooked the USS Donald Cook so much in the Black Sea?
This article was first published by Voltairenet in other languages in September 2014. The State Department acknowledged that the crew of the destroyer USS Donald Cook has been gravely demoralized ever since their vessel was flown over in the Black Sea by a Russian Sukhoi-24 (Su-24) fighter jet...

They have very little else to celebrate at the moment, but Girkin was obviously being sarcastic.
Funny thing is

A secret reason for war financing Ukraine?
When discussing the costs of the current conflict between Russia and NATO through the proxy war in Ukraine, the discussion often focuses on the procurement costs of the weapons and ammunition transferred from US and NATO arsenals to the Ukrainian army. These costs have been characterized as follows: "Our [U.S.] total aid to Ukraine from January 24, 2022 to January 15, 2023 is $76.8 billion. [and] $46.6 billion was for military purposes."
In this post, I just want to discuss the $46.6 billion portion. This largely concerns weapons that were purchased decades ago, last about 20 years and are about to leave the US arsenal. When these weapons normally go out of service, they must be demilitarized and disposed of, at a significant cost to the US and its allies.
The important point is that these demilitarization costs are significant. By donating these old and soon-to-demilitarize weapons to Ukraine, the US and its NATO allies avoid these costs.
Delivering expiring and near-expiration weapons to Ukraine avoids demilitarization costs for the US and NATO. In addition, the use of these weapons by the Ukrainian armed forces has brought losses to the Russian armed forces. This was a reasonable strategy when there were large stocks of expired ammunition. Unfortunately, the US and NATO no longer have surplus ammunition.
In the current political climate, there is little support to spend new money on Ukraine's military, and the old money has run out. Expect a change in NATO policy, as continuing to support Ukrainian forces will in fact create new costs through the production of new weapons instead of avoiding costs through demilitarization of old weapons.

The Weird Russian Mind-Control Research Behind a DHS Contract

Would have, could have, should have but it ended up being fished out of the water and all that fancy tech is now in russian hands.
Be sure they thought about it but didn't have the rocks or the authority to make the move. No doubt there is already a new drone in the air with the authority to defend it's self.
The other side of the propaganda exchange.
CNN: Before the fall of the MQ-9 Reaper drone in the Black Sea, the US remotely removed its secret software
The US military wiped the secret software from the MQ-9 Reaper drone before it crashed into the Black Sea. The drone collided with a Russian plane.

Will be send to Iran too just like those confiscated Javelins.Israel would be happy with when the Hezbollah gets Iranian javelins.
The corruption continues. Xiden is spending almost a billion biden bucks to Slovakia for a dozen worn out old Russian jets. They will be modified to use American missiles, no doubt. And promptly shot down.

I actually want to see some F-35s get shot down over the Black Sea so the rooskies can pluck one of them off the sea floor. See what tweedle dumb and tweedle dee do about it. America has no business in this conflict. BTW, Turkey isn't letting warships in, so the little pond is all Putin's.

Ukraine-Russia war latest: Slovakia sends entire fleet of Mig-29 fighter jets to Ukraine
Slovakia is set to send Ukraine its fleet of 13 Soviet-era MiG-29 fighter jets, making it the second Nato country to heed Kyiv’s pleas for warplanes to help defend against Russia's invasion.

Not really. Poland also is giving Mig 29s. No surprise, Russian fighters are all the Ukrainian Air Force know how to fly. Former Soviet country, right. New NATO and EU countries are happy to trade in old Russian hardware and they have plenty. Modifying Russian aircraft to shoot NATO stuff - Uhhhhh NO.
Are you serious? Maybe you should go to a Russian country and see how bad it sucks. I did that.
You aint seen nothing.
Doubt they will repeat that mistake and in an even worse way by engaging the russians directly but, as dumb as americans are you really don’t know what sort of foolishness they will resort to next.
Oh not so. I think the Americans know exactly how far they can go because threats without action show weakness. Putin will back down because he already bit off more than he can chew.
The effective percentage of engagement is merely 19 percent under simulated combat, and they will hit target even less frequently in real combat situations. The MQ-9 is a different find..
