Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Huge change in tone on the Solovyov talk show. Anyone watching can surely tell that things are not going well in the war for Russia (it may be that they are preparing the public for general mobilisation):

Its all Nato's fault ..😂😂😂😂

Bollix .

What your saying is you haven't a clue about it ,

Just like your claims of predator /reaper drones needing to be on top of a target to hit it , when in fact they can kill targets multiple kilometers away.

Child's play

No matter what way they spin it, the Russians sure as hell are losing to somebody in Ukraine. It's fascinating to watch all the confidence and arrogance of the last seven weeks starting to drain away from their faces.

Thats it , remember when they claimed the Ukrainan police were executing people in the streets who protested against the Nazi regime,

I'm just seeing dead Russian soldiers and tanks

Not sure about that poster, but, I do know what I'm talking about and have numerous trackers (including a nice Gold membership to FR24 which among other things allows me to go back 365 days) and I can't find any evidence of anything flying over Ukraine since the war started (with the exception of the Ukraine Emergency Services AN26 and AN32Ps which made a daring dash to Poland after the war started), I also have not seen anything here since the war started and have not seen any nation confirm they were still over Ukranian air space since the war started like you claim.

Apologies. I missed it being posted earlier. Hairs on the back of the neck stuff.

About 100 miles above, in space .

"America has confirmed they are over ukraine and providing live intelligence to the Ukrainans this is weeks olds news"

No they have not, they have confirmed they are sharing intelligence and only announced this week that will be stepped up, but the source of the intel is not clear, they have not stated that they are flying Global Hawks over Ukraine like you claimed, intensifying intelligence with Ukraine does not mean that it's intelligence from the unmanned drones, you are adding 2 and 2 together to get 5 there, there are many other sources of intel available.

"They aren't doing that from the blacksea and as pointed out transponders get turned off easily enough , which no matter what membership you have to an app you wouldn't see ?

No"

So where did the multiple FR24 screenshots come from that you claimed where all over the thread post the start of the war? 🙄

I wouldn't completely deny that there is an element of price-gouging when it comes to big-ticket contracts within the every country's military-industrial complex - I just wouldn't single out US military spending in particular - I think all the developed industrial powers suffer from this problem. Have you seen how much the Japanese actually pay for many of their own home-produced military hardware? Most US weapons and hardware on the open market is no more expensive that that of other countries.

When you see the vast profits that are on offer the idea that the US & UK will only send weapons to prolong the war rather than finish it decisively is less about conspiracy theory and more about an economic reality.

It's certainly more about someone's imagined conspiracy theory than anything else, actually.

No

To be fair, no in this regard is probably correct because those intelligence satellites are in various locations between 500 km and about 36000 km above in the low, medium and high orbits rather than 100 km above 😏

Add a carriage return after twitter links and remove the mobile part of the url so they show up

At this rate Russia is almost self imploding with arresting their own war leaders

The Hellfire is not the only munition a Reaper is regularly tasked to carry. A Reaper can also deploy stand-off munitions, like the JDAM glide bomb that costs a third what a hellfire missile costs and which has a range of up to 26km from it's release point. These cheaper munitions would generally be preferable for many missions due to their lower cost.
