United States seeking permission to fly surveillance aircraft through Czech airspace
I would guess that the Ukraine and Russia are the immediate targets, but of course, there are SO many others..... Here, so far, it has only been reported by the communist-leaning newspaper, Pravo.
Quote:The U.S. is seeking permission from the Czech government to fly Global Hawk surveillance drones through Czech airspace, the daily Právo reports. The pilotless aircraft is the largest of its kind in the U.S. fleet and isreportedly to help monitor areas along the Russian border. The U.S. Embassy in Prague declined to comment but the news was confirmed by the spokesman for the Transport Ministry, says the daily. Právo adds that teams from the Interior, Defense, and Transport Ministries have met to discuss ways of accommodating the U.S. plans but suggests getting to yes won't be easy,saying Czech and European legislation do not deal with long-distance operation of unmanned aircraft.
