Russian jet collides with US drone over the Black Sea

• mzs 4y ago
  >At approximately 7:03 AM (CET), one of the Russian Su-27 aircraft struck the propeller of the MQ-9, causing U.S. forces to have to bring the MQ-9 down in international waters. Several times before the collision, the Su-27s dumped fuel on and flew in front of the MQ-9 in a reckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional manner. This incident demonstrates a lack of competence in addition to being unsafe and unprofessional. https://www.eucom.mil/pressrelease/42314/russian-aircraft-collides-into-us-unmanned-system-in-international-waters https://www.eucom.mil/pressrelease/42314/russian-aircraft-co...

      *Flying a US spying drone over European waters and European airspace

        Spying drone -- correct. European water -- not correct, its international water. European airspace -- not correct, its international airspace.

    Yes exactly any country flying outside their 12 nautical mile airspace boundary is a sign of devious intent said no one ever. Oh wait but why is russia flying outside their 12 mi radius!!

      indeed, that was the point, both shouldn't be there
      • icedistilled 4y ago
        That's a unique perspective.

    "German American command has reported balloon over Alaska. ". That's what it sounds like to us. Maybe it is time for the US to stop playing world police.
