lol .. it's not like the Drones, and SPY satellites didn't already get this ...
no need for a IAEA to spy on defense .. just a story going out to give a reason for Russia to not allow IAEA to watch as the Russians blow up the Reactors ..
True but I doubt drones flying outside of crimea air space can spot something as far away as this nuclear plant deep inside ukraine.
The rc135 river joint is used primarly to sniff out electronic emissions from radars on surface, ships and on missiles and the usual comms.
I also doubt US is foolish enough to deploy any of those classified stealth drones, since the russians air defenses systems even short range ones like Panstir S1 have been spotted on video at being able to detect and shoot down cruise missiles with lower radar signature then a F22.
Spy sattelites are still not as good as a dji drone flying at 100 feet. Even these drones will not show stuff like mines, c4 traps placed on the road but may well be seen from a mobile footage.
In this ukraine russia war, the on ground human intelligence has been key for both sides to take out targets deep within enemy territory.
Most weapon inspectors and nuclear inspectors are just agents from intelligence agencies pretending to be a UN employee.
