True. That silly story of a SU-27 hitting the prop on that thing and we had to bring it down ourselves doesn’t pass the straight face test.
Wonder where it was?
But this shouldn’t surprise anybody. Nuland just went on TV and said the US was helping Ukraine strike Crimea and thought they should. That clearly makes our surveillance/attack aircraft a legitimate target.

What consequences are you looking for, WWIII? Given time this tinder box will give you precisely that.

Do you recall how the US Soviet nuclear war started in the novel ‘Alas, Babylon’?
Accident involving air to air missile.

“Nuland told the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington. Asked about the dangers of escalation in the Ukraine war, Nuland said Russia had a host of military installations crucial for the conflict. “Those are legitimate targets, Ukraine is hitting them and we are supporting that,” Nuland said.”
Only a couple of weeks ago. An unmanned spy/attack drone there is a legitimate target. At least as legitimate as Nordsteam II was for us.

I guess the US plans are for a professional environmentalist war against the Russians. What could go wrong?

I remember that incident. He should have been grounded before that fatal day.

“But it didn’t get shot down. The Russian jet hit the rear-mounted propeller of the MQ-9.”
According to the DOD. They also say we didn’t blow up Nordstream, etc etc. None of us know how it was brought down, nor where it was. Was it in that 12 mile limit Russia claims by international treaty? Sometimes we go inside that claiming “Ukraine said we could” because we pretend Crimea belongs to Ukraine.
Flight tracker doesn’t help either. Like our people are incapable of spoofing that?
So really, all of us are guessing.

Recon. It's the number one mission of a drone. The Ruskies would know if it was gathering intelligence for Ukraine. If so they greased it. Pretty standard protocol.

What pussy wrote this? Geez. Right? Who are these limp-wristed, latte-sipping, loafer-wearing pansies writing reports for EUCOM? Good grief.

After the Nordstream attack and the subsequent absence of outrage on the last of decent Americans and most Germans even, I’m increasingly like “Whatever,” when I hear news like this.
To: desertsolitaire
I found that book in the public library at about age 10. This was in the mid 60's and I grew up in Florida.
It was scary.
People today forget the 1950's and 1960's where nuclear confrontation was just another option.
US troops trained into the early 80's to deal with the effects of nuclear bursts on the battlefield.
Remember this
To: DesertRhino
Well, if Russia wants to shoot down US aircraft in international airspace then we can start shooting down theirs.
That’s how these things work.

The first and best Clancy film and his politics and life aside, Baldwin was the best Jack Ryan as Clancy created him.

Practically, there is no difference. They just didn’t use esplosives.
