Military analyst and editor-in-chief of the National Defense magazine Igor Korotchenko said that a reconnaissance and attack system has been created in the Black Sea region, directly participating in hostilities against Russia. He stated that American Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicles flying over international waters should be considered a legitimate target for Russian air defense systems. He writes that the destruction of at least one of them would help reduce the danger of Ukraine’s attack on Crimea RIA News.
Analysis of Flightradar24 data showed that the United States and its NATO allies increased the number of reconnaissance flights in the Crimea region from 7 to 21 per week. Eastern Romania is used by NATO manned reconnaissance aircraft, while Global Hawk strategic unmanned aerial vehicles operate over the central and eastern Black Sea.
According to Korotchenko, the United States and its allies have created a reconnaissance and attack system in the Black Sea region, where information, reconnaissance and communication support is carried out by Western assets on aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles, while the Ukrainian armed forces conduct physical operations. strike. He noted that Ukraine’s attack on Crimea would not have been possible without the radio equipment on NATO aircraft, and that all of this equipment was directly involved in military operations against Russia.
In this context, the expert pointed out that a no-fly zone should be established over the Black Sea, where electronic reconnaissance aircraft and drones are deployed. This would help complicate or eliminate reconnaissance support by US aircraft and their allies to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. When such a zone is created, Russian air defense systems will have the full right to destroy the US strategic unmanned vehicle Global Hawk if it violates this zone. The analyst noted that these devices controlled drone boats used to attack fleet ships and the Crimean Bridge. This scenario will reduce the risk of Ukraine launching a new attack on Crimea.
Korotchenko also stated that the increase in the frequency of NATO reconnaissance aircraft, including unmanned aerial vehicles, in the Black Sea region shows that Russian air defense systems in Crimea and other southern regions are trying to determine their location, monitor fleet movements and plan attacks there. Targets on the peninsula. They also assist Ukrainian cruise missiles by adjusting their flights in real time and planning joint attacks to break through Russian defenses.
Earlier, advisor to the acting head of the DPR Yan Gagin announced the possibility of destroying NATO reconnaissance aircraft. He noted that a reconnaissance plane was detected during the attack on Crimea and Sevastopol on September 22.
