Pentagon intends to "simplify" Grey Eagle UAVs and hand them over to Ukraine
Pentagon intends to simplify Grey Eagle UAVs and hand them over to Ukraine | The changes will make the potential loss of this drone less dangerous and increase the likelihood of delivery to the AFU, CNN reported. Earlier, the Pentagon's Defense Technology Security Agency banned the transfer of the Grey Eagle due to the possibility of advanced military technology falling into the hands of the Russian Armed Forces. This refers to imaging and intelligence-gathering equipment. ● The MQ-1C Grey Eagle has a flight time of 30 hours, a maximum speed of 250km/h and a practical ceiling of 8850m. It has four hanger units. Armament: 4 AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, 8 AIM-92 Stinger missiles and 4 GBU-44/B Viper Strike dive bombs. The UAV is also used for intelligence gathering, long-range reconnaissance, artillery targeting and countering other drones. ● We should add: the Grey Eagle's range of 370 km falls under the restrictions of the Missile Technology Control Regime (a range of more than 300 km). But the US is not embarrassed by this. (www.DeepL.com/)
