[quote author=greatness77 post=113393357][/quote]The drone to be utilized is not this one you posted.

It's the Mojave drone which is the senior brother to the Predator drone.

The Mojave was just released in December 2021

Ignorant statement. Almost all the weapons the US have given Ukraine since this invasion has been free.
Quim2:
Can you Read? I mean really Read?

The US set as 40 billion dollars of their money to fund Ukraine. This is USA taxpayers month given to the Ukraine.

It is from that money the USA government is paying a USA defense company to build and send advance drones to Ukraine.

Simply put, the Ukraine is getting everything for free.

So tell me again who is cashing Out?
Rupertek:
US is givings it's money to Ukraine, the congress recently passed $40billion budget for Ukraine. Where did you see Ukraine paying?
obedience4:
the weapons are not bought they are military aid. The us congres pass a vote to give ukraine military aid.
Heroicvic:
The administration has already set aside money from the recently passed $40 billion Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative to fund both the sale and subsequent training for the drones, the US official and one of the sources said.


Ignorance is cheap….
bigpicture001:
The US is dashing them..not selling them


Dou after the war Ukraine will definitely come to buy these magical weapons
GenerationNext:
keep on commenting trash. Do you know how much USA budgeting as aids to Ukraine? We are talking of 30 billion dollars. Do Ukraine has the money to buy this type of drones. You people allowed hatred for USA to becloud your sense of reasonings.
Amayabor1:
The definition of ignorance speaking. You are actually the one who is ignorant here.

Get yourself acquainted with the Ukraine lend-lease act.
I laugh at your unique blend of ignorance and naivety

Those Drones were designed just for the Russia air defence system and other high value assets like that. They are designed to be a hunter and a killer.

The Mojave drone that carries these hellfire missiles are extremely deadly.

Russian high value targets are in trouble.

If America wants to give Ukraine 4 of these Mojave drones then wahala dey because the younger brother to the Mojave which is called the predator drone made by the same company is currently on lease to India (only 2) a whole India o just 2 on lease and this Mojave with the hellfire missiles is the older brother.

Lend lease act na your mate?
nothing can counter Russia Air Defence system.

Igbofam2:
Oga there is no drone that Russia has that is anywhere close to the Mojave drone which US wants to give to Ukraine.

The next best drone to the Mojave is the Predator drone and it is still US owned.

Russia's Orlan 10 attack drones can stay airborne for 18hrs max. While the US Mojave attack drone can stay airborne for 30hrs.

So the math.

Below are the top 10 military attack drones in the world from 10 to number 1.

10. TAI Anka (TURKEY)

9. MQ-5B Hunter (USA)

8. CAIG Wing Loong II (CHINA)

7. MQ-1C Gray Eagle (USA)

6. Yabhon United 40 (UAE)

5. CH-5 (CHINA)

4. Predator B (MQ-9 Reaper) (USA)

3. MQ-9B SkyGuardian (UK)

2. Heron TP (ISRAEL)

1. Predator C Avenger (USA)

Now the Predator C Avenger would be going to number 2 because the Mojave drone has been designed to take it's place and the Mojave drone belongs to USA as well.

I am sure you noticed that Russia is not on the top 10 list cheesy grin
Russia has the best air defence system in the world.

Wow really. Imagine is Ukraine was Nigeria and think properly. Every country has a right to protect its sovereignty.
If you suddenly decide to declare Russia an international aggressor, read these facts and figures. Over 3 million people - that's how many foreigners the US military has killed in 60 invasions of sovereign nations under the pretext of bringing "democracy"?

The sanctions imposed on the US for this age-old international terrorism are 0.

Read what you posted. It can stay airborne for 30mins at a speed of 130km/hr and then smashes into a target in kamikaze approach cheesy

The Mojave travels at 220 kilometers per hour and stays airborne for 30hrs while carrying as amarment,

7 hardpoints
Up to 650 lb (290 kg) on the four inboard weapons stations.

Up to 350 lb (160 kg) on the two outboard stations.

Up to 500 lb (230 kg) on the center station

And then it also carries up to 16 AGM-114 Hellfire air to ground missiles.

I am sure you can clearly see which drone is King grin
The Orion-E MALE drone will be presented on the unified Russian exposition organized by Rosoboronexport along with the Kalashnikov’s Vikhr guided missile and the aerial bomb. The Kronshtadt is also to show in Dubai its new automated workplace for UAV group operations that’s never been previously shown at any exhibition.

The Orion-E is intended for performing missions in a wide range of climate zones: destruction of small stationary, mobile and moving objects, military equipment and enemy manpower; air patrolling of designated areas; maritime border guard and patrol; evaluation of a strikes impact; topographical survey; terrain mapping in the radar range; detection of surface and above-water radiocontrast targets; etc.The Orion-E MALE drone will be presented on the unified Russian exposition organized by Rosoboronexport along with the Kalashnikov’s Vikhr guided missile and the aerial bomb.

The Hellfire missiles which the Mojave drone carries utilizes a very unique laser targeting technology which is currently the most accurate system in regular use in the world.

It uses a Semi-active laser homing Millimeter-wave radar seeker Guidance system.

Russia's air defence system wouldn't know what hit them cheesy

Makes you wonder why it's called the hellfire missile cheesy

You just filled you head with useless Russian propaganda. Ukraine was a neutral country before Russia invade Crimea in 2014. That's is where the problem started.

A country like North Korea always advertises their weapons because they see it as a big achievement because they suffered to make it. But the US is already used to having lethal weapons so it’s no big deal to them

Afi Hellfire na, mumu Putinist keeps saying Zelensky is sacrificing his people for America's sake as if Russians aren't dying or losing critical war machines as well just to flex muscle on a war they certainly can't win anymore. It is obvious this will turn into a guerilla warfare which will just keep taking the life and resources of not just Ukrainians but Russia as well.

And since Russia is only doing this to form bragado, they can't nuke Ukraine so they won't lose face.

Ukraine has probably evacuated nearly half of it's citizen and their infrastructure has been damaged already so they have got nothing to lose. Ukraine is like a wounded lion knowing they'll die but won't let their prey go free as well. Ukraine is destroyed already but Russia better be careful or they'll have the whole of Ukraine become a terrorist right in Russia's doorstep.

It is certain Russia can not capture Ukraine at this point!

Russias objective was not to capture Ukraine
