Russia will become more confused after hearing this news.
China will just be studying some of the weapons own by America.

Read una no go read. This is a different grade of drone and not the toys Ukraine was using, yet they hit Russia hard with them. So imagine what happens with this new one. These drones are capable of longer range and carry the dreaded hellfire missiles
when you know nothing about the military dont speak. there is nothing fantastical about the drone and hellfire missiles. drones by nature are easy targets for any air defense systems thats why the TB2 are being shot down like flies. as for hellfire misses they are old quiet capable but nothing fanatastic about it. the Ukrainian had similar missiles at the beginning of the conflict.this is a very high intensity conflict the likes of which had not been seen since the Korean war 4 drones will not change anything in the tactical space. this is not fighting insurgents who rely on only aks and technicals

Assuming what u said is true, do u know what the slight 5% superiority can do?
Not much really, just slightly faster & a bit more pay LOAD, which isl negated by less air time & bigger size, even American airforce complain dat it's useless against a regular army with a bit of air defense... gud for insurgency operations though...It's just an extremely expensive bayaktar grin

Calling you a m0r0n would be an insult to that word.
Comparing a mojave to a Bayraktar? Are you this stupid?

You think size makes it an easier target for something that has a ceiling of 30,000 feet? Are you this dumb?

Below are the top 10 military attack drones in the world from 10 to number 1. Check and see if your can find the Bayraktar on the list or even any drone from Russia.

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.

The Mojave drone is now number one in the world because it 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 which has a speed twice the speed of sound.

Plus the Mojave carries and 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 (aka fire and forget)
LMAO, my brother, no be me say that American drone is obsolete shyt...na US airforce general say am, only good for counterinsurgency, regular army go shoot dat shyt down faster than bayaktar cause of its larger size...very easily seen on radars grin grin

Ignorance is a serious disease where you are concerned

The Mojave just like the MQ-9 Reaper and MQ-1C Gray Eagle is equipped with a global positioning system (GPS) and a satellite communication (SATCOM) datalink with anti-radar detection and anti-jam technologies to mitigate interference and jamming threats.

I really think you need to upgrade your knowledge

So they should watch on and sit idly by while Russia reduces Ukraine to rubble?
Why not condemn Russia for invading and bombing a sovereign nation?
So, if China starts bombing Nigeria, you will blame America for sending us defensive weapons?
You people should be objective when making comment.
Not that I approve of US or support the war, but when a bully is punching a helpless neighbor, helping in anyway to rescue the victim is a sensitive thing to do.
Let's pray for peace to return to all wartorn regions in the world.
Shalom
Ukraine should throw in the towel. If it's joining NATO that caused the invasion, they should retreat. Whatever reason it is, they're the one losing. Ukraine is in ruins, but russian schools are still on. Why is the US sending them rockets? To do what exactly? The more they push, the more russia hammers them. So why encourage them ro fight back when everything is almost lost.
Two faced west motivated them with propaganda. They thought they were beating Russia but nah...
Anyway, what do i know..

Keep deceiving yourself with your lies.

The M777 howitzer delivered to Ukraine came with M982 GPS Inertially-guided Excalibur rounds along with other rounds.

This is why Ukraine artillery strikes have been extremely accurate lately.

All they need is a drone to set the coordinates and the Excalibur rounds deliver.

Attached is a typical example of a precision M777 howitzer artillery strike coordinated by a Ukrainian drone.

You talk cos u are not informed...confused of what. Russia will destroy all. Do you know the types of drones Russia has? US is really creating more problems for Ukraine by selling them weapons instead of trying a peaceful resolution for the war to end, they are selling Billions of weapons Ukraine will continue to pay for years to come.
When you see the comment of a lame, dumb n blind supporter of Putin……
So meaningless n empty…..

U rather know nothing about the military. because if u do u will know that every aerial vehicle is a target for air defense systems. So don’t come here and act all techy and shit. There are a lot of fantastic things about the drone and hellfire missiles. This is not a TB2 drone, it’s totally different. I don’t care about what else u wrote. The fact that u don’t like the US doesn’t mean u give false information on their weapons system. The hellfire missiles remain one of the best till date. And their battle accuracy has been tested in real war situations several times

The hellfire missile has a maximum speed of Mach 1.3 (995 mph, 1,601 km) and it’s Guidance system is Semi-active laser homing Millimeter-wave radar seeker. It has a kill radius of 300 ft and armor piercing capabilities of 800mm. So u know nothing about military tech or weapons

Russia is currently occupying about 20% of Ukraine's territory, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told Luxembourg's parliament in a video address on Thursday.

"We have to defend ourselves against almost the entire Russian army. All combat-ready Russian military formations are involved in this aggression," he said, adding that the front lines of battle stretched across more than 1,000 kilometres (620 miles).
