This was reported by Western websites tracking military aviation flights, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, citing Interfax.
During the flight, the long-range drone cruised for hours from north to south along the demarcation line between Ukraine and the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), but did not cross it. The reconnaissance aircraft flew at an altitude of 16,7 thousand meters.
Taking into account the capabilities of reconnaissance to a depth of 300 km, the RQ-4A Global Hawk drone could observe the entire territory of the self-proclaimed DPR and LPR, as well as the border regions of Russia.
According to open sources, the device can patrol for 30 hours, being at an altitude of 15-18 thousand meters.
A long-range American unmanned aerial vehicle took off from the Sigonella airbase in Sicily. He entered Ukrainian airspace over the Nikolaev region and headed towards Mariupol. After completing a mission in Donbass, he “left” Ukrainian airspace north of Moldova.
