Cold War Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Did they send a letter of apology for an attack on a American aircraft flying over international waters ? If they did…..its all cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 NK is firing missiles towards Japan Remember when we used to worry about them ? Now it is just your average military exercise. The Ruthless drug cartels are writing nice apology letters for killing Americans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a ton of surveillance aircraft in the area 24/7. I think the US looks at the RQ9 as expendable and probably put it in a situation it would not put more capable drones in. Just like the ballons over the US the RQ9 is a tough target for a modern fighter jet because they move so slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly just like we shot shot down the china balloon after it did is pass accross the US of course. So why bitch when Russia. Fly boys are having a little fun with our bullshit ? And with our sat imagery do we really even need to have 3 stations accross the us flying these things and God knowes how many launch and recovery sites around the world paying a crew of 5 contractors at every one on sire a min of 230k a yr to be there?

Who’s bitching? I’m all for a strong US presence throughout the world. Of course the difference between the US drone and the Chinese balloon is the drone was in international airspace. So perhaps the USAF needs to start blowing Russian aircraft that snoop offshore in Alaska out of the air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bil flew them then just did launching and recover after they started to pilot then in NV . Sat in the desert for 8 yrs and retired more or less at 38 . Did some cyber security consulting because he had the clearance for 4 more but that was part part time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it fucking around and found out ? Again zero point with our sat imagery capability.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted March 17, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 17, 2023 Can't imagine we would like Russian drones flying couple hundred miles off the east/west coast of the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a fairly wide gap between not being happy about it and actively downing it, No worries though, Joe has already apologized for it. Reminds me of George Mcfly apologizing to Biff.

If I were Russia I would have shot it down and said they simply thought it was Ukrainian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make with the nukes already and let the chips fall where they may. This penny ante stuff ain't gonna end this shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
