The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden plans to offer to Ukraine the General Atomics MQ-1C Gray Eagle, the U.S. Army’s best unmanned aerial vehicle.
The possible forthcoming offer, which Reuters first reported, would be subject to approval by the U.S. Congress. But if the president follows through, lawmakers sign off on the deal and the White House can arrange financing—likely via the federal government’s fund for foreign weapons deals—Kyiv’s forces soon could operate one of the world’s best killer drones.
But the drone itself—a two-ton, propeller-driven vehicle with a 56-foot wingspan—isn’t the most exciting component of the possible deal for Ukraine. The four MQ-1Cs that the White House reportedly is offering comprise just one “orbit.”

If Russia controls the airspace, they will be shot down as easy targets.
Anyone got a copy of the order form? I’d like a couple systems.
Happy Endless War Everyone!
So we get to blame Ukraine when we take over the drones remotely and attack Russia! Sweet!
Just saying.
I think Biden should back off, and leave Russia alone.
Maybe just me. But we need to BACK OFF.
Gee, I wonder if other nations will send us citizens “weapons of war” if we are ever faced with a situation of invading army?
Great
More civilians can die so we can make Putin bleed a little more
For a fait accompli
If Ukraine collapses all this equipment will become Russian owned.
Maybe the Brits and a few stalwarts from the third world who like us
Truth boogaloo proponents here ignore
We have a war
The world collapses
Everyone
West Africa goes back to starving again
China is in a free fall
Ironically Russia survives likely best of any big nation
Brasil too
And turned on the same idiots who decided it would be a good idea to send it to Ukraine.
MQ-1C ‘Orbit’
Interesting.
Four Aircraft with one
Ground Control Unit.
.
An MQ-9 is School bus size.
DC should be closed down and power returned to the states to mind their business.
I imagine one of those Russian super speedy missles will find this thing.
The Biden regime is desperate to drag this war out no matter how more Ukrainians die and no matter how much more territory they lose.
You're disgrace, Speedster, for repeating the regime's propaganda.
When you cannot afford viagra you do what you have to
hey, maybe someone a lot smarter than me could do the US taxpaying Americans a favor.... find out who owns who are the main owners of General Atomics.
Because it is NOT a publicly trade company and is “privately owned”. I wonder how many deep state parasites and democrat/RINO/ family members are on the board of directors and “advisory board”...
Maybe a real journalist could find out.
Meanwhile our US Army and Marines have to pay for their $200 boots, $1000s of dollars for dress uniforms and $2-3 per MREs while they train in the field... OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKETS.
They are paid in with one hand and the governments other hand is in the wallet, taking it out..... indentured service..... living on the company farm and never quite getting to save any money and sacrificing their lives for our country...... but if you’re a Ukraine that kicks back money to the big guy or illegal alien... we’ll pay for everything....
They will certainly lose the east almost have already
Russia jabbed inland early I’m not sure they ever intended to take Kiev or the smaller cities they lined up near
Tied up Uke troops who ensconced in civilian areas Russia was hesitant to Grozny
Then Russia left to back east rapidly as the east became more under their dominance
Now they essentially have it
Or cold warriors will say Russia was forced out to the east under heavy losse
Doesn’t matter
Ukraine doesn’t have the forces to assault the east and they’ll have to leave the protection of civilians shields in the central cities and move east into the open steppe same routed Russian trooos took as they retreated or repositioned
And will be in the open...where Russian missles can hit them without fear of collateral damage the globalist media will pimp
All these toys help Ukraine but can’t win alone
Amd Europe will grow weary as their populace grows weary of crazy fuel prices etc
Strategically it’s Putin’s to lose
Ukraine can’t fight a war managed by our state dept and Miley forever
Putin’s stated goals are likely achieved
I doubt he goes for more
Secure east
No NATO etc
Odessa ....who knows ...I think he lacks popular support there he has in the other three oblasts
Crimea Luhansk and Donbas
Ukraine will have another coup and likely it goes back to what’s considered normal for that “nation”
I don’t think the Russians who are sitting in Belarusia went to the east....what they do with them is uncertain
They’re operationally testing the weapons they will eventually use on American citizens.
