so you’re saying Russia does have that capability?
My understanding is that the drone was in a No-Fly Zone
Its a Russian declared "No-Fly Zone" not recognized internationally, just like the Chinese "No-Fly Zone" in the South China Sea is not recognized internationally.
“My understanding is that the drone was in a No-Fly Zone..”
Since when does any nation get the right to declare International air space a no fly zone?
Oh that’s right. They can’t.
L
I’d love to see the response by the US to Russians flying drones over international waters of our east coast, west coast or in the Guif of Mexico.
WarNews24|7 is reporting the Russians have recovered the drone.
Quoting what news article?
(/sarcasm)
Most of these Zeepers do not comprehend that Russia has advanced beyond us in certain capabilities.
We have spent our time on idiocy like woke and leftist dogma.
There’s nothing like a little global thermonuclear war to be the perfect excuse for a complete reset of the global financial system as well as a reset of the global population.
Put those two together and you have the Great Reset!
I’m surprised there isn’t a remote self-destruct function on something that expensive and classified.
Right, because we would definitely dump fuel on them while approaching dangerously close...
US intercepts Russian bombers off Alaska for 2 straight days Feb 16, 2023
The U.S. intercepted Russian aircraft flying off Alaska in international airspace as they approached an identification zone for two straight days this week, according to officials.
Planes are required to identify themselves when they approach the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone, or ADIZ. If they don't, U.S. aircraft are launched to check on them.
The Alaskan Region of North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, announced on Thursday an incident that took place on Feb. 14 in which U.S. Air Force F-35s intercepted four Russian aircraft, including two Tu-95 bombers. The U.S. announced on Tuesday it had intercepted two Russian Tupolev Tu-95MS strategic bombers on "a seven-hour flight over neutral waters of the Chukchi Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk" on Feb. 13.
Neither time did the Russian aircraft enter the U.S. or Canadian airspace, according to officials.
"This Russian activity near the North American ADIZ occurs regularly and is not seen as a threat, nor is the activity seen as provocative," NORAD said in a statement Thursday.

They had any identifiers turned off which means it was spying. LOL It was not one of Joey’s innocent weather balloons.
The only thing still flying is the lies. They got caught with their pants down.
Maybe that is what happened?
That's the Russian claim which the US denies.
Why is it that we should consider this an act of war. A drone is no different than a missile. Its a hunk of metal. It has no more moral authority than a cannon ball. If it is interfered with, take it up with the world court. If you shot it into Russian airspace you can best believe they will shoot it down straight away.
If there was a person strapped to it. Thats a different story. They will try to capture him alive and figure out what he is doing. Then after some roughing up, they will hand him back in their time.
Just checking! History has a way of being weird, ironic, funny, and stranger than fiction.
There could be a Pary Gowers. I Go ogled the name and the closest I found was Patrick Gowers.
Who in the US is saying this is "an act of war"? Provocation, yes.
Milley Won't Call Russia's Downing of U.S. Drone an Act of War
