NATO aircraft have already begun scanning the Zaporozhye region.

Against the background of the appearance of information that the Ukrainian army in the Zaporozhye direction is preparing to launch counter-offensive actions and is transferring significant reserves of armored vehicles to the left bank of the Dnieper, it became known that NATO is also assisting Ukraine in preparing for the attack. This is evidenced, among other things, by the RQ-4b Global Hawk strategic unmanned aerial vehicle, which was spotted east of Crimea this afternoon. This, taking into account the possibilities for conducting reconnaissance, is a guaranteed evidence that the Zaporozhye region and, probably, part of the Kherson region became the target of the strategic drones.

A key feature of the current reconnaissance of a foreign strategic drone near the Russian borders is that the drone has never before operated east of Crimea, however, judging by open sources, the drone is purposefully conducting reconnaissance in this direction.

Experts do not rule out that Russian electronic warfare systems may interfere with the operation of the drone, however, the fact that NATO is preparing a large-scale attack on the Zaporozhye region, providing the Ukrainian Armed Forces with operational intelligence, is of serious concern.
