It was in international airspace when it was brought down.
Very likely that it was NOT in international airspace when collecting. While surely very pretty, that drone isn’t made to go sight seeing of the sea.
“Since when does any nation get the right to declare International air space a no fly zone?”
I think you have a point, as Rule 37 only applies to NATO:
Per Rule #37 of the “Rules-Based International Order” that the EU keeps reminding Russia of. It states the following:
RULE 37: “When in the Interests of NATO, a No-Fly Zone can be declared in any areas that are demarkated by NATO and provided to ICAO with 24 hours notice. This includes International Waters.”
Gee, then we will never know. Neither side is honest.
“so you’re saying Russia does have that capability?”
Clear TROLLING now on your part. Nice try!
Sure, ignore recent Russian invasions, and threats to neighboring countries.
“Most of these Zeepers do not comprehend that Russia has advanced beyond us in certain capabilities.”
Then they spend all of their time trolling here. It’s getting to the point where they need to be removed.
Even the Russians AREN'T making the argument the drone was NOT in international air space.
They will call in their best magnet fishers.
We can’t do that without examining our own invasions. It isn’t always okay when we do it.
The US invaded Ukraine in the non military fashion a long time ago. We are there as as provocateurs for our own purposes.
None of this is worth WWIII.
They fly up and down our east coast every day. I wouldn’t be shocked to learn they fly around the west coast either.
It’s funny....y’all think the Cold War ended in 1993.
LOL, sure US invaded Ukraine with dreams of living better.
CNN called it an act of war. The BBC says it is as well. The news is trying to purport that this is at the least an unwarranted act of aggression. As I see it. Its a very warranted act of defense. When China starts putting their drones in the gulf of Mexico just off the Louisiana coast, the US will define this same situation very differently.
Not sure why some FReepers cannot get their heads around the simple concept of international air space.
“Not sure why some FReepers cannot get their heads around the simple concept of international air space.”
Come one man....they struggle with getting their “R”s facing in the right direction. Don’t expect them to understand confusing things like “airspace.” //sarc
Could be.
I can’t imagine not having a “safety switch” on a piece of equipment like that.
I know that. Initially we were told the Russians did it. After the Russians were pretty much cleared NATO started the BS lie that some rogue Ukrainian group did it. I was referring to NATO telling one obvious lie to cover another obvious lie. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
“UMB Financial Corp”
And yet I heard an ex-serviceman say the other day, that people were tracking it on Twitter & we need to get back to using untrackable spy planes.
“I’m surprised there isn’t a remote self-destruct function on something that expensive and classified.”
They have the ability to erase the sensitive information, but why it can’t also self destruct is something I don’t understand either.
Russia invaded Ukraine. It then annexed Ukrainian territory.
Why do you think its neighbors want to join NATO.
If Milley says it will be difficult to recover it, then that means the Russians will probably have it tomorrow.
