An incident occurred with a Reaper over the Black Sea. Officials are investigating if it was shot down.

I don’t think Ukraine has the forces to do a wide offensive. They are going to pick a spot and throw everything into it. They might split their forces to attack from two sides but it will still be aimed at a specific area. I’m very curious where western intelligence is telling them to attack at and just how much of the promised military aide will get there in time for the attack. I would think they have to make a move by mid May at the latest which gives them 8 weeks or so to get everything they can in country. I have my doubts that the Abrams will get there in time even with the Pentagon trying to rush them. Hopefully I’m wrong and they have 100 modern western MBTs as well as 100 Leopard 1s to throw in the fight because this offensive is for all the marbles for Ukraine. They have to make progress or they risk losing support.

The drone and a Su-27 collided over the Black Sea a Pentagon official.

Per @US_EUCOM, “At approximately 7:03 AM CET, a Russian Su-27 aircraft struck the propeller an MQ-9, causing U.S. forces to have to bring the MQ-9 down in international waters. Several times before the collision, the Su-27s dumped fuel on and flew in front of the MQ-9 in a reckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional manner.”

We’re not going to do anything over an MQ-9 robot.

Wonder how many planes Russia is willing to lose to take out our drones.

Hopefully we can recover it before they do.

Wtf...

I guess it was only a matter of time til something like this happened.

I saw on Twitter around that time that Russia had a bunch of aircraft in the air over the Black Sea and down in Southern Ukraine and up around Kharkiv.

Maybe we'll give Ukraine ATACMS or cluster munitions now.

Why is putin trying to provoke a war with the US? Why is he doing everything he can to escalate this conflict into ww3?

Meanwhile the poliboard is criticizing the US for flying in international airspace.

Putin just took down a piece of American military equipment that was being operated by the US in international waters with a Russian aircraft that was being piloted by a Russian

The world needs to collectively condemn these reckless actions that attempt to provoke the US and threaten world peace

Putin lost that duel

Su27 cost $41 million
Reaper cost $14 to $32 million

Even if the jet landed that still takes it out from firing cruise missiles and defending its forces due to damage. And we don't just have gone Reaper either. Another one will be around shortly.

Im guessing the aid package next month is going to have some extra items in it.
