Gray Eagles in Ukraine

If Biden ordered a Gray Eagle battalion into Ukraine to perform recon and surveillance of the frontlines, how much would they be able to achieve? How much risk of shoot-down would they face? Could the battalion operate from outside of Ukraine?

    The short answer is that it would be completely useless. American UAV famously ineffective at recon task and they would get shot down by Russian SAMs and MANPADS anyway

        The same Russian Sam's and manpads that can't target a cardboard drone?

        None of you are willing to admit that USA drone initiative completely fail? Perhaps you'll now claim that America won the Vietnam, Korean, Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts!

        I think he meant that they should be used against an enemy with limited or no AA.

          Maybe he did, but considering it's about 5AM in Delhi and we've been dealing with thirdie shills for months, it's pretty obvious why he's saying it.

            I wonder what's going to happen to India after Russia collapses.

                I genuinely thought that was a meme until I got stuck on tech support with an Indian that said it.

    Not very much, Ukies seem to use drones as disposable assets. Just look at the TB-2.

    They would likely be shot down.
    Effectiveness would be similar to the Turkish TB2, which were very effective. Drone directed artillery is very powerful.

    Geopolitically Russia would definitely attempt to shoot them down directly and not restrict themselves to the jet turbulence thing. Probably wouldn't escalate much further as Russia doesn't want US participation to escalate.

    They would be food for Russian air defense, there's a reason why you don't hear about TB2 drones anymore.

    OP have you ever wondered why drone footage now comes from chinesium quadcopters with grenades strapped to them and not TB2s?

    Who the fuck would refer to that thing as a gray eagle? You can tell OP has zero time in service.
    It is an MQ-1C, a predator drone.

    Wait. Don’t Gray Eagles fly at over 20k feet? Also don’t they have SAR or am I thinking of a different drone?
