The video makes it clear that they're over the sea, and the wreck is in international waters. And the closest "disputed territory" is internationally recognized Ukrainian borders.
What exactly is controversial here? At best, Russia downed a US Aircraft when it was over Ukraine. If US story is to be believed, it was over international (and I find that more likely anyway).
- nocsi 4y agoProbably don’t want the bases and fly patterns to be determined. From there they can line up the AA. US isn’t the greatest at making their flight patterns unpredictable
- sokoloff 4y agoRussia already knows where the encounter happened.
- meepmorp 4y agoThey've been flying surveillance drones along the same paths over the Black Sea for more than a year now - they leave their transponders on and you can look up the flight paths online (try FORTE11, for example). The US doesn't care if the Russians know where the drones fly out of.
