But the Gray Eagle represents a leap in technology because it can fly up to 30 or more hours depending on its mission and can gather huge amounts of data for intelligence purposes. Gray Eagles, the Army's version of the more widely known Predator drone, can also carry up to eight powerful Hellfire missiles.
Depending on their load out, these drones will probably top out at around 12-15 hours of flight time and they have absolutely zero foul weather capability. It will be a boost for sure but not necessarily a game changer. Really not much more capability than the Turkish drones they’ve been using.

Makes sense. The EU gets around the sanctions.

The thing about WWI and WWII is that while all out combat was harrowing and you stood a high chance of getting killed or maimed, it rarely lasted very long. In WWI, troops would spend a few days to a week in the trenches, then would be rotated out. In WWII there was plenty of downtime between major operations, with the exception being the final few months of the war in Europe.
In contrast, many of these guys have been in combat, often heavy combat,for over three months without relief. I imagine a lot of them on both sides are nearing or past the breaking point.

Anyone who goes through that is going to be affected by it at some level. Some can deal with it, some end up with shell shock (there is probably a better word for this) and major PTSD issues.

I also saw some twitter vids of life getting back to normal in Kyiv. Quite a few men of military age on the street. Apparently Ukraine isn't fully mobilized either. Maybe they were soldiers home on leave but I doubt all of them were.

The first thing I would do with those drones is go locomotive hunting.

Can we round up this Russian troll and execute him.
This is the most ridiculous statement I've read in a long time. Execute a man that doesn't share the same view as you do on a geopolitical issue on the other side of the planet?
For this post to have 12 up votes to 3 down votes is disgusting no matter what you believe and is indicative of the fanaticism on display in this thread.

If a fellow American dares to speak ill of Ukraine, they need to be herded up and executed. Dissent is not allowed.
Perfectly reasonable thought process for a psychopath.

I got downvoted for simply describing the capabilities of the new drone the US will be providing. Another poster got upvoted for saying every Russian POW should be put in a cage and lit on fire.
Yet the people in this thread think they’re reasonable and sane. It’s actually an impressive site to watch.

Oh go change your tampons. It was one guy probably being funny with the comment. Meanwhile this thread gets four or five drive by trolls a day popping in posting crap they know almost nothing about.
Most in this thread are posting reasonable stuff and even noting when good stuff is happening for the Russians

Now this I’m 100% ok with. If they’re willing to foot the bill, sell them whatever they want. I have no issues with this ?
We give Ukraine billions and they in turn use the money to buy weapons from us so now the money is washed.
Seems like our last President had it right by not giving money but instead he just gave the weapons to start with.

Can we get back to war updates instead of hijacking the thread with your pseudo psychology? Any video of Russians being destroyed would be appreciated.

Most of what we have been giving them is weapons. Or are you one of the ones that believe we sent a pallet of $40 billion to them?
