Can we beat Russia to salvaging our drone?

I would hope that the US will put a salvage vessel in the area quickly and find the drone before Russia does. I would not be surprised if the Russians downed the drone specifically for the purpose of salvaging it in hopes of learning how to neutralize or crash a drone before it can reach it's target. I am sure that our drones are rife with technology that our enemies would love to study and steal.

Putin will never back off as long as his stooges like Trump, DeSantis, MTG etc along with Carlson & a few more of Putin's lackeys on Fox News as they continue to do his bidding & repeating his propoganda like Ronny Boy did a few days ago. Reagen must be turning over in his grave.

I doubt that we have a salvage vessel in the Black Sea. We will need to rent one from Turkey.

I was reading this morning that wreckage of the drone is in 4000 feet of water and that it most likely broke up on impact. They also mentioned that action had been taken electronically during the incident to mitigate the likelihood of the Russians being able to garner any useful technical information.

Ron DeSantis’s (R) stance on Ukraine after he likened Russia’s invasion of the country to a “territorial dispute” and argued becoming further involved is not a “vital” national interest for the U.S.

As a result of his views the following happens: Senate Republicans distance themselves from DeSantis’s Ukraine stance

So POLITICO now says: Wanted: A GOP presidential contender who supports Ukraine

“I want a Ronald Reagan when it comes to national security. Peace through strength,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said. He prefers a candidate who won’t “kowtow to the isolationist wing of the Republican Party.”

The former president and the Florida governor, their party’s presidential frontrunners, are taking a hard line against providing more funding to Kyiv in its year-long bid to ward off a deadly Russian invasion. If either Trump or DeSantis claims the GOP nomination while the war is still going on, their vocal disinterest in maintaining current levels of support for Ukraine could pull the rest of the party in that direction.

As long as Putin's lackeys continue to do his bidding he'll continue the invasion in the hope that Trump or DeSantis is elected. Trump especially will hand over Ukraine on a silver platter because he's a traitor & he hates Zelensky. Anyone who defends a war criminal like Putin should be charged themselves as an accomplice.
