Daily Mail: Biden now plans to sell Ukraine four $40million MQ 1C Gray Eagle Predator drones that can fire up to eight Hellfire missiles, fly for 30 hours 

* The Biden administration is planning to sell long-range drones to Ukraine 

* It wants to sell four MQ-1C Gray Eagle drones to help in the war against Russia 

* It is the latest sign that the White House is stepping up the firepower it is sending to Ukraine, along with advanced rocket systems 

* It comes as the war has morphed into long-range exchanges in Donbas 

The Biden administration has refused to send warplanes to Ukraine but is now planning to equip Kyiv with some of the most modern and deadly long-range drones, according to people familiar with discussions. 

The plan would involve selling four MQ-1C Gray Eagle drones - a more powerful version of the unmanned Predator aircraft and capable of carrying eight Hellfire missiles - for battlefield use against Russian forces. 

The sale of the General Atomics-made drones could still be blocked by Congress, according to sources who said the plan has been discussed at the Pentagon for weeks.

This is one of my biggest fears .... Ukraine May Get U.S. Attack Drones That Can Strike Moscow (Warzone/The Drive). During the Cuban missile crisis the view from Washington was that a missile attack from Cuba would be treated as an attack by the Soviet Union. 

Flash forward to today. 

You can take this to the bank. A Ukrainian drone strike on Moscow/the Kremlin/etc. by a US made and supplied drone will be seen by Russia as an attack by the U.S. on Russia. 

Is the Biden administration aware of the dangerous path that they are taking right now?
