Incident in the skies over Donbass: what happened to the American UAV RQ-4A Global Hawk

43

On April 24, a mysterious incident took place near Russia's southern borders. The American RQ-4A Global Hawk drone conducting reconnaissance suddenly lost contact with the control center and left the area of ​​the operation already in emergency mode.

It is worth noting that the RQ-4A Global Hawk heavy reconnaissance drones have been used by the US Army since 2011 and are considered almost a "crown technical thoughts ". But what happened to the American UAV at the end of April?



There is no direct evidence of a Russian attack on the hawk. However, the Pentagon is "hinting" at the use of our latest electronic warfare equipment. Moreover, these suspicions are not unfounded.

Recall that similar incidents last year already occurred with the American reconnaissance and strike drones MQ-9 Reaper. Two UAVs "got lost" spying on Russia from the territory of Estonia. Another one, controlled from the German airbase "Rammstein", also stopped responding to commands, and even "managed" to ram his "colleague".

So, later it became known that the Russian complex of executive radio-technical intelligence "Avtobaza-M" was working not far from the scene of the incident.

Earlier, in 2011, when Avtobaza was just undergoing a "run-in", one complex was transferred to Iran. The latter, with its help, managed to capture a Lockheed Martin RQ-170 high-altitude unmanned stealth reconnaissance aircraft, "landing" it at its airfield.

Thus, it is possible that the April "incident" that occurred with the RQ-4A Global Hawk in the skies over Ukraine is directly related to the operation of our electronic warfare systems. However, in this case, the question arises: why did not the "hawk" crash and was not captured, but calmly returned to the base?

The thing is that, taught by bitter experience, the Americans began to supply their drones with a special "panic mode". The latter instantly blocks the possibility of external control of the UAV in case of loss of communication and automatically returns the unit to the place of deployment.

      - If it is American; then they can make a serial program ... - the drone (or a group of drones) completed (or) part of its task and "chopped off" (cut off) and returned (returned) to the base; and the second drone (the second group of drones) continued (s) the execution of part of the task and also returned (returned); and then the next one, and so on ... - "along the chain" ... - Yes, you cannot "let go" American drones after they have been in the Russian "video zone" ...
      - Russia urgently needs to create a global response zone to massive attacks by enemy drones ... with an instant response ... - the delivery of missile strikes (INF) on enemy territory ... - Especially on the Russian border with China ... - This is where you should expect special trouble ...
      - Tanks and helicopters ... a good thing; but against China we need to suck other means ... - and then no China is afraid of Russia ... - And the Americans without a military alliance with China (without China's betrayal against Russia) ... - will never attack Russia ...

          Yes, especially when the Russian electronic warfare is controlled by corporal Popa, whose brains are powdered by Navralny, and his eyes are bloodshot and that he is shaking, he does not understand, but "partners can have no doubt, we will condemn this" follower "of Navralny, give two years probation and we will deduct from his salary all the losses caused to you, but, according to the law, no more than 20 percent, but it is easier to calculate everything from his "henchman" from his donations, he teaches Russian guys not to love and you never know what, these Popkins, Bykovs, Shamsudinovs etc. They can press in the CA.

        It is not that simple. Ours cannot intercept control of the drone (since everything is encoded, well, let's say, like W-iFi networks, although everything is much more complicated), but only interfere and the operator loses control of the drone. In this situation, the drone has a command to return home in the program. The goal is achieved, the task is disrupted.

        Starting with Gorbachev and Yeltsin, it is the USSR and the Russian Federation that betray their friends and allies just for the sake of praise like Gorbachev and pat on the shoulder like Putin. And then our guarantor will tell us about the only "our allies" - the army and the navy. By the way, our fleet is purely Japanese - crappy. A full salvo of the entire Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation is less than a salvo of 2 American destroyers of which they have 69 pieces and 40+ are always on the move in a combat-ready state. A full salvo of all Russian destroyers of all its fleets is less than a salvo of one American destroyer. .... Thanks to my dear Putin.

        Ours simply do not need a scandal. The hijacking of a scout from foreign territory is a serious incident.
        And if necessary, the circuit works like this: the control signal is intercepted - did it work? well, it didn't work, the drone turned on the panic system, a distorted GPS signal is slipped into it, and our serious friend flies where it needs to be.

        In any case, the scout did not fulfill his task. (This is to the clown below that wrote about the irrelevance of domestic electronic warfare).

      - Both that, and another: the Russians sent a beam from the "Krasukha-4" (for example) to the UAV, the connection was cut off, the UAV switched to an emergency mode of returning home - namely, "Come back and do not listen to anyone."

        - What other "nonsense" is this ???
        - Yes, that's right ... - Against China - that's right ... - China can easily "close the Russian sky" with tens of thousands of its cheap drones ... - They are, of course, pretty crappy; but, due to their huge number, they can do quite a lot of harm ... - Moreover, Chinese agents located in Russia can easily launch hundreds (if not thousands) of "signaling, specifying the coordinates of our Russian objects" from our territory ... - their Chinese drones ... - it's easy to assemble them here from scrap materials ... - and "hang" them over our objects ...
        - And ours cannot afford this ... - to do the same on Chinese territory ... - That's it ...
        - That is why a whole branch of troops of the operational global system of instant response is needed ... - Oh, personally, I do not presume to give it a name ... - any "Global Operational Response Troops" ... - something like that ... - Hahah ...
        - Their task ... - to inflict serial strikes on enemy territory; very densely populated and saturated with enemy troops for various purposes ... - The strikes are delivered in many series ... - are delivered by the RIAC missiles ... - These strikes are delivered simultaneously ... and by the RIAC missiles for various purposes ... - But you can paint them "according to serially "...
        - The first series of strikes ... - Destruction of enemy electronic warfare and electronic warfare systems
        -The second series of strikes ... - the destruction of air defense systems (air defense missile systems, air defense systems and other integrated air defense systems, etc.);
        - The third series of strikes ... - Destruction of enemy airfields and aircraft;
        - Well, the "fourth", "fifth" and so on ... "series" ... - this is the destruction of armored vehicles, military equipment, fuel and lubricants depots, etc. and so on ... - Here ... - it is against China that Russia can apply only such tactics ...

          Today you live in the capital of Russia and your thinking is clearly different from that in the USSR. You think like a patriot of the capital system that imagines itself to be an enemy of the United States, but in most of China.
          No matter how you think China vaaaashcheta was and is a socialist country, no matter how someone else would like it. Therefore, China's attitude towards the Russian Federation will be as it should be, namely, a precautionary interrogative and class hostile, and on occasion they will devour the Russian Federation without regret.
          Moreover, today the Russian Federation does not really have friends and allies, and how after what the last three leaders did - and from Mishka to Vovka it is impossible to assume otherwise.
          Moreover, the Chinese remember very well the enormous assistance rendered to China by the socialist country of the Soviets.
          And they probably perfectly remember the storming of Beijing, which finally buried that independent China of the 19th century and gave China not plunder and desecration to the Western colonialists. And they remember that Beijing fell under the blows of another Russia, imperialist.
          So this capitalist Russia has no chance whatsoever, especially after the total destruction of the Russian economy by the Yelets-Putin clique. And given the current Putin ideology of the libero-fascist attitude of ALL entanglements towards the Russian people, the chances of the Russian Federation are zero.

          The Yankees themselves will never attack Russia. Neither alone, nor with satellites. There are no suicides. And they are not as strong as they want. They did not manage to push China into a war with Russia, although they invested money in the Chinese economy for this cause. an astronomical amount. But they miscalculated. Instead, they raised themselves a competitor.

        The Chinese are always on their minds. The Chinese are not your friends. Here is to snatch the Far East and part of Siberia, yes. And the "friends"? In fact, were the Chinese at least once in their 5000-year history any friends? Never. They always have their own interest. Yes, they quarrel with the United States, but the United States is also the main market for them. Without the United States, they will immediately become impoverished and bankrupt. China needs a constant 10% growth. Therefore, they will always quarrel with the Americans, it is a commercial matter. But they would rather sell Russia three times than destroy the trough that feeds them. Russia now has NO friends from the word at all. And not so long ago they were and lived well. But someone decided (you know who) to dominate forever and peregavat with the whole world. But even 7 years ago, no one spat in your faces. Including in Ukraine, millions traveled.

          Well, well. While Russia was giving raw materials and money, letting me wipe my feet and spitting on my soul, it was good. Convenient. Now, when it closed the freebie, it began to periodically kick in the face for rudeness, not much, purely educational. Defend your interests, business. and nothing personal (so far nothing personal), then it suddenly became bad. Inappropriate. In Ukraine, it’s better to be silent and not once again otvechivat.

      Again putin's cartoons. Well, Global Hawk returned to base. Maybe because of an attempt to attack by radio-technical means, or maybe not, he just acted according to the program. How can you know? Okay, let's have a radio attack. It means a reliable device and there are many different forms of protection. For example, he can attack the emitter locator itself with a rocket - this is a well-known feature. And then fly away. Global Hawk did not attack. So far .... You there generally understand that having hacked to death somehow with the Americans and the British, and this can be easily underestimated if the risk is underestimated, Russia will receive a response and then anything can happen. Are you going to heaven? Is it heaven? )))

        So far, you have nothing but "Putin cartoons". There are practically no modern fighters, except for a dozen of those who remained from the contract torn by India. The mace as a strategic missile failed completely, all in the experimental stages, but nothing in the series. There is no money for rearmament. Tanks, maybe something ... so-so. Armata is a shame and it is not enough. "Kuzya" is scrap metal. What do you have? Are the already old Ukrainian missiles "Satan"? Who are 40-45 years old? If only we didn't fly to Voronezh. Well, okay ... cho and will fly, if anything. Oh, God forbid. What will be left of you is ... how to say: radioactive ash.

      Starting with Gorbachev and Yeltsin, it is the USSR and the Russian Federation that betray their friends and allies just for the sake of praise like Gorbachev and pat on the shoulder like Putin. And then our guarantor will tell us about the only "our allies" - the army and the navy. By the way, our fleet is purely Japanese - crappy. A full salvo of the entire Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation is less than a salvo of 2 American destroyers of which they have 69 pieces and 40+ are always on the move in a combat-ready state. A full salvo of all Russian destroyers of all its fleets is less than a salvo of one American destroyer. .... Thanks to my dear Putin.

      60 destroyers to contain the navel will untie any Putin and Zyuganov, as well as 2000 planes.

      That is, the reconnaissance drone smelled something, gave it thinly in his pants, and ran home to complain to mom. So the electronic warfare has worked fine.

      Enough already to spread misinformation. And then the whole illiterate public really believes in these fairy tales.
      In Iran, a drone crashed due to a malfunction. Suddenly, it happens. And this is much
      more likely than the tale of the interception of an encrypted satellite channel. And this Iranian propaganda fanned it as a victory of Iranian weapons over stupid Americans.
      Well, and you don't need a lot of cleverness to drown out communication channels and GPS. But they are not really needed, you can fly with acceptable accuracy using a compass, gyro instruments, accelerometers, an airspeed sensor and a bar altimeter. Those. those devices that cannot be muffled in principle.

      No one really knows anything. Some speculation. But the holivar erupted serious. And in general, if we put aside all the fabrications and fortune-telling in the clouds, the drone was simply shocked by a directional impulse. There is no one to fly where it is not allowed. This happens all the time and everywhere. Nothing mysterious. Someone needed a media buzz, so they created it.

      suddenly lost contact with the control center and left the operation area already in emergency mode

      - and urgently reported this to journalists via a secret communication channel - nonsense.
