Kiev: Amid fears that Russian troops could attack Ukraine at any moment around the world, the U.S. ‘RQ-4 Global Hawk’ has been leaking information to the US and spying on the US to spy on the country. Global Hawk has made several appearances near the Ukrainian border in the past few days, making it the largest surveillance drone in the world.
Currently, satellite imagery provides crucial information about the Russian military presence near the Ukrainian border. At the same time, spy planes are tasked with capturing and transmitting information quickly. This includes pilots and non-pilots. The unmanned aircraft RQ-4 Global Hawk can be controlled from a distance.
Developed by American aerospace and defense company Northrop Groomer, Global Hawk has been used by the US since 1998, followed by NATO allies. Global Hawk is the most powerful drone in the United States. At an altitude of more than 60,000 feet, the Global Hawk can fly in the face of enemies. The Global Hawk is capable of monitoring an area of one million square kilometers per day and collecting radar signals.
Global hawk flies over the country for hours as the skies over Ukraine are almost empty due to fears of Russian conflict. For the past month, two Global Hawk spy planes have been flying from the Mediterranean Sea to Ukraine on a regular mission. With a wingspan of 40 m and a length of 15 m, the Global Hawk can fly for more than 30 hours continuously.
