Yeah but the TB2s are a good bit smaller than the Predator and significantly smaller than the Reaper. Also in case you hadn't noticed they can't use the TB2s offensively anymore since Russia have tightened up their air defences and collapsed to the south and east of the country.

The only TB2 footage we have seen lately is of them being used in a surveillance role from significant distance: you only do that if you can't get close enough to fire your short-range missiles.

And no the Global Hawks have not been flying over Ukraine or Mariupol; they have been conducting surveillance flights from significant distances outside of Ukrainian airspace along with all the other NATO air assets as shown below:

I would doubt nato aircraft would be landing directly into ukraine if it was and it was shot down things would kick off id say it was ukrainian

The main damage might not be the physical / military effect it will have ( and I'm pretty sure that it will have a negative effect there too) but the demoralizing psychological / prestige damage will be massive. And will not do anything to quell the rumblings of discontent, because despite the silence in that department, you can be sure that there are rumblings of discontent.

Only Russia could spin a loss into a glorious win.

NATO poked and proded us, but, we were the bigger nation, we are the heros who saved the world.

Does anyone here know the capability of the various classes of tactical nuclear weapons? Think I read before that they dont have (or some dont anyway) a warhead that leaves radioactive fallout in the atmosphere so they are nowhere as near destructive as full nuclear weapons where the surviving population later dies from cancer from the radioactivity. But that they can obliterate everything in a specific space, as small as 1km2 for the smallest of warheads. They seem like the type of weapon that can take out a specific facility or location without causing as much death as a full scale nuclear weapon.

Id wonder would Putin use them, either as a way of finishing off the Azov resistance in the aluminium plant in Mariupol or hitting Kiev in an effort to kill Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian leadership. Like he allowed chemical weapons to be used in Syria and that wasnt a red line, could he do similar with a small tactical nuke without any US or NATO reaction? If it only kills a limited amount of people in a small area would there even be a response? That seems to be the way he got away with using chemical weapons in Syria, the deaths from them werent all that high. It might have been a different story has they been used to poison the residents of a whole city with mass scale casualties in the tens of thousands. There seems to be degrees with these things in how far he is allowed to go before intervention happens.

A brilliant powerful video

If they were to watch this in the Kremlin 🇷🇺 they might start to understand what they are up against 🇺🇦. https://t.co/ev4U20IzAG https://twitter.com/carlbildt/status/1515294443175387139?s=20&t=xy7d689HH4CanNqTk_kdqg

A Global Hawk has been over Ukraine since February 24th? They have not.

The screenshot you attached is from February 15th!

Any evidence since this latest invasion started? I haven’t seen one NATO aircraft show up on FR24 over Ukraine since it started.

You're posting screenshots of flights which were taken before Russia invaded. Of course they were overflying before Russia invaded Ukraine; but they absolutely have not been overflying since the invasion.

The same way actual NATO military and paramilitary forces were boots on the ground in Ukraine training troops and (allegedly) fighting the separatists... before the invasion.

The pope hasn't been German for quite some time.

Well well well, it appears a NATO Global Hawke may have disappeared off radar at 13:58 UTC South West of Odessa near the Ukranian border, well actually it did disappear off radar at 13:58 near the border, that does not mean it was shot down, but unusual for the Global Hawkes to turn off their transponders.

It's been posted numerous times and numerous screen shots from multiple posters ,the Americans have confirmed it .
