I would love to see the drones set with a proximity fuse to detonate high yield explosives in the event Russian forces or any other hostile actor intercepts the drones and comes in close proximity. Perhaps arm them with chaff and or infrared flare dispensers so the intakes of the Russian aircraft can suck them up. Boom !!!! Either that or arm them with air to air missiles. Perhaps both. |

I would say it was on purpose and the US are clearly not happy.

What is with the technology aboard the Reaper? Will the US send ships to recover it? Is the technology critically sensitive? I would assume it is?!

I doubt any US warship is allowed to pass Istanbul for the Black Sea.
But then Bulgaria is a NATO member .. as is Turkey

Could be a formally civilian ship, protected by either NATO units in the vicinty that you mentioned, or "contract workers" not wearing US military uniforms but civilian clothing.
One could also airlift a navy ship and bypass the Dardanelles at 10000 feet Have there been no US ships in the Black Sea before the war broke out? I seem to recall there were some minor exercises, but I am not certain. Or the talk was about planning them.

I did not post in the joke thread because it is real.
In Russia, a man faces prison for a joke about Putin and Shoigu. "Vasily Bolshakov, a resident of the Ryazan region, wrote on the social network: "I haven't read really funny jokes in a long time: — Sergey, why are we retreating from Kherson? "Volodya, you yourself ordered the liberation of Ukraine from fascists and Nazis..." A criminal case was opened against him under the article on repeated discrediting of the Russian army (Article 280.3 of the Criminal Code)

The Russians use drones, too. Leopards, Challengers, Abrams all are vulnerable to air threats and mines, and ATGMs and artillery. The tanks will become priority targets for the Russians. As the German saying goes: viele Hunde sind des Hasen Tod.
I hope the Ukrainians do not become over-confident with these tanks, thinking they are invulnerable. They are not. None of them.
