a fighter SU-27 of the Russian Air Force has impacted this Tuesday with a United States unmanned aerial vehicle over international waters in the Black Sea, according to the North American Armed Forces, which have denounced an “unsafe and unprofessional” maneuver by two planes russians.
The command of the US forces in Europe has confirmed this incident in a statement, which occurred early in the morning. One of the Russian fighters has hit one of the drone’s propellers, which has led the US authorities to shoot it down at sea.
“Our MQ-9 aircraft was conducting routine operations in international airspace when it was intercepted and struck by a Russian aircraft, resulting in a crash and the complete loss of the MQ-9,” explained Commander James B Heckerwho has warned that there is “almost” a total shock.
Hecker has urged Russian forces to behave in a “professional and safe” manner in the area, to the extent that the United States and its allies “will continue to operate in international airspace.”
In this sense, Washington has denounced “a pattern of dangerous actions” by Russian pilots, at a particularly delicate moment due to the escalation of tensions around Ukraine.
