The US strategic unmanned aerial vehicle Global Hawk carried out reconnaissance of the border of Belarus today.
This was reported by the Ukrainian Military Portal, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The drone monitored the border of Belarus in the airspace of Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine. Then he flew in the direction of Donbass.
The RQ-4 Global Hawk is a strategic reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle.
FSB General, member of the Supreme Council of the All-Russian movement “Strong Russia”, Alexander Mikhailov, does not see anything extraordinary in the actions of the Americans.
“An American drone scans the concentration of combat forces and equipment on the borders. This drone is equipped with such a powerful surveillance system that it can even distinguish license plates on cars. They conduct reconnaissance, which helps to see the state of the armed forces. Political tension in Belarus is very high and they need to clearly understand in what format the armed forces support themselves,” Mikhailov told PolitNavigator.
Last week, President Alexander Lukashenko announced the gathering of NATO forces near the borders of Belarus, and, in turn, ordered the transfer of troops to the west.
