Did you know that you can monitor the movements of US drones observing Russia in Ukraine? Follow the method below.
As is known, Russia has been invading Ukraine since Thursday (24/2) yesterday. Ukraine was bombarded and killed. The world is condemning, but Ukraine is still fighting alone.
Many people want to know the current conditions in Ukraine. Not only through the news, but also on social media from various Ukrainian posts.
In addition, a number of applications and open source data are also used to find out the current situation there. Satellite photos from Maxar Technologies are in high demand.
Also popular is the Flightradar24 app. This aircraft traffic monitoring application is used to see in real time the air space conditions in Ukraine.
Of course the Ukrainian skies were emptied of commercial flights. However, through Flightradar24, netizens can see the movements of US combat drones monitoring Russian military actions from the air.
This is actually a spy plane belonging to the US Air Force that is capable of stealth flight. The breed is the RQ-4 Global Hawk. However, as reported by the Daily Mail, aviation experts said this drone was deliberately displayed on the radar so that the public would know about the show of American military power near Ukraine.
In the Flightradar24 application, this combat drone has flight codes Forte10, Forte11 and Forte12. On the first day of the Russian invasion, these drones were observed flying around bombarded Ukrainian cities.
On Friday (25/2/2022), we observed that a combat drone with the code Forte12 was flying back and forth in the Black Sea south of Crimea. This is an area controlled by Russia as one of the entrances of their military power to Ukraine.
Netizens can also monitor it directly. It's easy:
Open the Flightradar24 application or from the website click here: Flightradar24.
Swipe the map towards Ukraine
In the Search field, type: Type Forte10 or Forte11 or Forte12
You will be directed to the point where the drone is.
