America's RQ-4 Global Hawk drones are watching from the south as Ukrainian troops push forward and target Russian positions behind the lines.
Rogers said exactly what the Global Hawks see depends on the sensor payload fitted for specific missions and their distance from a surveillance target.
"This means it is ideal for border patrol and ensuring Russia does not violate surrounding states," Rogers said."However, given reports that some Global Hawk flights have come as close as 60 nautical miles off the Russian coast in 2023—not far from the cities of Sochi and Novorossiysk—the Global Hawks may be used to provide more specific intel on important developing situations in the Black Sea region.
"Of course, it's more difficult to have good intelligence if you're having to be offset further away from that," Hodges added."We should certainly enable Ukraine to be able to hit targets in Crimea. Make Crimea untenable, so that the Russians can't just sit there." "Put simply, it is clear that the Russian military sees U.S. drones as a direct security threat and a target. As such, NATO will also want to make sure these highly advanced systems—and the hardware onboard—do not fall into the hands of the Russian military."
