Video recorder with signature radar detector Neoline Roadmaster: https://clck.ru/3FBWPL RQ-4 Global Hawk is a strategic high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft produced by the American company Northrop Grumman in the early 2000s. RQ-4 is an unmanned aerial vehicle with a high degree of automation, and controlled remotely from remote bases. Global Hawk is equipped with a full set of reconnaissance equipment: optical and electronic, as well as an advanced communications system that allows for surveillance, communications and target designation in real time. The drone is capable of performing reconnaissance missions lasting up to 34 hours at distances of up to 22,800 km, which significantly exceeds the performance of its "predecessor" - Lockheed U-2 and expands reconnaissance capabilities. Thanks to this, Global Hawk has become an important tool in many operations of the US Armed Forces and their allies. However, the drone’s outstanding capabilities are offset by its complexity and prohibitive cost, which limits its production and supply volumes. Northrop Grumman has been struggling with this problem for almost the entire history of the project. Thanks for watching!
