Threat to Transnistria: American attack UAVs appeared in Romania

43

The United States Air Force has deployed personnel and reconnaissance and strike drones MQ-9 Reaper in Romania at an airbase near the town of Campia Turzii. This is stated in the communiqué of the United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa.

It should be noted that the Pentagon's defense budget for 2021 (started on October 1, 2020) provides for the direction of $ 130,5 million for the modernization and expansion of the mentioned air base to accommodate a large contingent of the US Air Force. It is the largest US investment in infrastructure in other countries. The Americans are planning to turn this facility into a large hub for operations in Southeast Europe and the Black Sea region.



A modern airspace control and air traffic control system will be installed at the base. It will be able to receive most types of aircraft available to NATO countries. The main task of the base is to "contain Russia", but the threat to Transnistria, around which unfavorable events are unfolding, should not be ignored either.

The United States Air Force deployed MQ-9 Reaper and about 90 personnel at 71st Airbase in Campia Turzii, Romania to conduct intelligence gathering, surveillance and reconnaissance in support of NATO operations

- clarified in the command of the US Air Force in Europe and Africa.

Armenian-born General Jeffrey L. Harrigian, who took command in May 2019, said the deployment of the drones "reassures allies and partners" while pointing to adversaries that the United States is ready to respond "to any threat that emerges."

Note that recently the US Air Force RQ-4 Global Hawk strategic reconnaissance drone committed "Voyage" practically along the entire western border of Russia, arranging a check of the combat readiness of the air defense system of the Russian Federation. He flew in from Sicily (Italy). It will now be much easier for the Americans to use their UAVs, given the base in Romania and Ukraine's vast airspace.

      We must take the Odessa region, and then together with Transnistria it will be a huge foothold in the underbelly of Europe. There is practically no APU there. The population will meet with flowers. I know for sure - there people howl from Ukraine. I think very soon Nikolaev and Kherson will catch up. Moldova too. Romanians won't even twitch. This entire region has potential and will not be a burden. This is not Crimea with sand on the beach.

      The police, army and navy are on the side of Bandera.
      Forgot about the massive transition to the side of the Russian Federation in Crimea? It will also be here. Some stoned ones, having changed into women's dress, will leave the region. Yes, the people of the south howl from the Ukrainians, but they are in no way organized, unarmed, and crushed by the nomadic Nazi bands. It is necessary to occupy the key cities of the region. The villages will cope on their own. Establish posts at the borders and prevent the appearance of gangs in the liberated territory. People will sigh and quickly everything will return to normal.

        This is when the inhabitants of Odessa threatened to defect to the Crimea if their salary is not increased? Of course I remember. Something these people in general could NEVER organize ... Only Get 'yell constantly. Russia is not a poultry farm and the memory of the population is not chicken. They well remember what the assurances and vows of friendship between Ukrainians are worth. Yes, and the Romanians probably remember how the inhabitants of Odessa poured their denunciations on their neighbors.

        Putin has little guts to provide "methodological" assistance to the people of Ukraine ... He's a spy. And they say - "measure a hundred times, cut once."
        While he measures 100 times, the Americans will cut off a hundred times ...

      You forgot (did not know) Soviet Odessa. Huge prom. potential. Everyone loved the Soviet regime. They will also write denunciations on the stubborn ones. And you don't need much love. Let them live and work. Only now not to Kiev. And the whole region is under control. It is necessary to move the borders away from Moscow. We need to pose questions to the West. So far, the opposite is true.

        What's the potential? Who built everything and who plundered? Their potential is to live according to the laws of the Zaporizhzhya Sich! Forever betray and rob. How they lived in Soviet Odessa, Tallinn, Tashkent, compared to Soviet Russia, is not difficult to find, and everyone knows. Again to pay Russia with their blood and tighten their belts tighter? There are more important problems than expanding territories and re-educating a disloyal population. How Ukrainians change their shoes in a jump is known. There are no prerequisites for the introduction of Russian troops into Ukraine, passports will not be issued faster, and life in Ukraine is getting worse and worse. so rest in peace, dear nebrat. You will not have time to escape.
        PS I don't care about the cons. You will spit in a new payment for gas laughing

        I was born and raised in Soviet Odessa.

        Quote: Teacher
        Everyone loved the Soviet regime.

        This is not true - Odessa residents have always hated and mocked the Soviet power, and everything is absolutely, without distinction nat. origin - Ukrainians, Russians, Jews, Moldovans, Bulgarians, Greeks. Therefore, do not rely on bread and salt, the invaders will find only inglorious death on the outskirts of the hero city.

          So the "hero city" was appropriated by the "invaders" for the fact that they waited three days for the Romanians and policemen to pack their bags and leave. There were no intense battles for Odessa. Odessa is not Voronezh, during the liberation of which 400000 died, but only the Order of Military Glory was conferred ... The Odessa "partisans" had an inglorious death, who were engaged in the fact that the power was divided and the Romanians surrendered each other.

      Clear. Write what you want about other concerns (tasks) of the modern Russian Federation, but. While they were solving other problems, NATO planes began to train from near Kharkov to deliver nuclear strikes on Moscow. There the flight time is minutes. You won't have time to call Putin either. Are you afraid of spending on Novorossiya? Recognize as a separate state. Crimea was in this status for about a day. Naturally it will be pro-Russian. It is like that now, but it’s impossible to breathe because of the Natsiks. But there is no weapon. Do you think Crimea would take place if you were sitting behind the fence of military bases? No! They took to the streets, gave support to the population, who needed to be pressed. And the result!
      This new state will very quickly (under the leadership of managers from the Russian Federation) surpass all other regions of Ukraine. Showcase!
      In Crimea, it took a lot of money because there was no industrial. potential - sand on the beaches. Novorossiya has everything for economic growth. We need Russia as a consumer. There are also goods for export, the Union has not been forgotten.

        How many letters, but all are useless laughing Let them first build a state, otherwise there is nothing to recognize. We went to the hump of Russian instructors and such as Sergeant Pavlov. Where are the local heroes? Where are the smart officers who can command? in the APU ??? Roll up your lips, sculpt a showcase of garbage ... since the 17th century, they have been engaged in this stupid undertaking. Under the management of managers from the Russian Federation ... but in the field, what? Some empty pans? laughing Something no one is eager to take Ukraine under their control ... probably there are good reasons. At least too expensive and unpromising (where are the hundreds of billions of Russian investments in a quarter century?). But the fact that NATO wants to hang the used girl of easy virtue Ukraine on the balance of Russia is a FACT. Whose will you, teacher? In Novorossia, for economic growth, only the assembly of PAZiks on their knees. Everything else is for demolition. Russia needs coal, or maybe there are not enough metallurgical plants, or maybe more modern cars are being assembled in Donbass? And for whom is the showcase? outbid those who chased after cookies and panties? let them run on.

It is not enough that they fell for the Crimean spoon, "thanks" to which Ukraine rushed to NATO? Do you think that Russia has nothing to lose? You are very wrong! If the Russian Federation suddenly accidentally twitches against the interests of the West, it will be torn to shreds.

                          why do you believe this statement by Pompeo and other Americans?

                          Because Pompeo is the head of the US state structure, the State Department. This can be regarded as the official position of not only the United States, but also most of the other NATO countries.

                          Have they attacked you at least once?

                          In fact, it was during the civil war in 1918, when they landed an expeditionary force in the Far East, but then they got a kick in the ass.

                          Why are you so afraid of them?

                          Nobody is afraid of them. But after all, they have pulled their troops to Kaliningrad, they are building military infrastructure in Eastern Europe, who knows what is on their minds? We are peaceful people, but our armored train is on the siding, as they say.

                          2) I did not say that the Americans attacked the Russian Federation, you asked:

                          Have they attacked you at least once?

                          I answered you, but in general the Republic of Ingushetia, the USSR, the Russian Federation are all different forms of the existence of Russia, there is not much difference.

                          But if they only tell the truth, then they are not going to attack us. Then why should we work so hard?

                          They can say one thing, do the second, and think the third. Between the USSR and fascist Germany there was a non-attack pact, which they violated without batting an eye, NATO promised Gorbachev not to expand to the East, the result is that they are close to our borders, so history shows whether they should believe or sign any contract.

      It will now be much easier for the Americans to use their UAVs, given the base in Romania and Ukraine's vast airspace.

      - Yes, today Americans have no problems to spend money and feed the population of devoted Ukraine ...
      - There is no need for this ... There is no need to admit Ukraine to NATO ... - and so, at the very first order of the United States, it will act ... as ... as ... as a real NATO member country ... - so ... what's the difference ... - A few "jump airfields" (just in case) and warehouses for fuel and lubricants and weapons are enough ... -which probably have long been established on the territory of Ukraine ... ..

      Those who continue to count rubles for the revival of Novorossia while NATO bases are being built in Ochakov and Berdyansk. NATO pilots are practicing nuclear strikes from the territory of Ukraine, any Russian governor is able to buy out his province for cash, money is taken out of the apartments of FSB colonels by KAMAZ trucks. Think ahead. Think strategically.

        And you don't count other people's money. Ukrainians have been warned more than once. And now they will get Russian bombs on their heads. They work out nuclear strikes ... So what ??? The final result is known. So there will be no nuclear strikes. Didn't try to think a little ???

      ... but the threat to Transnistria, around which unfavorable events are unfolding, should not be ignored either.

      No special threats to Transnistria, except for the ritual sipping of the newly-made President of the KI of the neighboring state, have not yet been discovered. But local writers have a lot of obsessions.
      And when the "New Year's" UAV flew in from Sicily, then if there is more to Romania, there is practically no difference.

      No threats to Transnistria were found. If there is more to Romania, there is practically no difference.

      Then NATO in Moldova, Ukraine, Georgia, and there is no difference. If you die, you really don't. You overestimate the Russian army. In the USSR, there was a huge army and rolled back to the Volga during the war with the country ten times less. Now, if the army is put on the borders of the Russian Federation, then one soldier will have 60 km. boundaries. Yes, of course, there is a bomb, but NATO also has it. All that is needed is for the deputies to raise their hands when voting on the recognition of the PMR (Moldova has been neutralized). DPR, LPR. A little later - Novorossiya (Ukraine neutralized), Armenia into a union state (Georgia neutralized). And all this is in the territories of the former Soviet Union. The West will be lost for a long time.

        You have a clear distraction of consciousness. This happens when three hundred on an empty stomach and without a snack roll.

        PS The topic of someone's recognition is excessively relevant for you. Russia recognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Nothing has changed from this. What, Georgia is neutralized?
        Recognition of the PMR, DPR, LPR and various ... Russian is NOT POSSIBLE. Take it for granted and calm down pzhsta.

      It's good that you don't make the decisions. You would accept. To the Garden Ring.
      Does this mean that a gangster, 100% criminalized, Kosovo can be recognized, but the pro-Russian regions are impossible? These regions are daily subjected to terror and oppression only because the Russian flag flies in the streets and people resist the cave nationalism of Moldova and Ukraine.

        This * wise "sentence applies to you more than to me.
        Kosovo is partially recognized, and personally I have not said anywhere that I have a positive attitude towards this.
        I won't say about Ukraine - I don't know. But about Moldova-Transnistria, I can say for sure:
        there is no * caveman * nationalism there. * there is no terror * in transnistria either.

      Well, yes, they haven't fired for 28 years, thanks to the peacekeepers. But, name at least one leading employee, from the head of the ZhEK and above - Russian. There's no such thing. All titles. Stupid, crazy, it doesn't matter. Your own! Moldovan! Although the same Russians were born, raised and will die in Moldova, they are not. They don't know the language (don't want to), look at the titles with contempt and in general ... Russians. As for Transnistria, only fear of the Russians is holding back.

          Zinaida Petrovna Greceanii (mold. Zinaida Greceanîi. Born on February 7, 1956 in the village of Metallist, Tomsk region. Her parents were exiled to Siberia in 1945 from the village of Kotyuzhany, falling under the definition of "unreliable" after the liberation of Moldova from the German-Romanian fascist Soviet troops [ one].
          In 1957, the Greceanii returned to their native village. Wikipedia

          You can be born on an airplane flying over the Russian Federation, and what are you considered Russian? She is Moldovan (she probably also has a Romanian passport).
          I affirm that not a single Russian has a chance to become at least some kind of leader in the nationalist Moldova.

            If she was born in the Tomsk region, then she is a citizen of Russia (by right of the soil).
            Is she Moldovan (you probably also have a Romanian passport)?
            Proof of?
