over international waters, crashing the drone. The MQ-9 Reaper drone and two SU-27 craft were all flying above the Black Sea, and according to the US military’s European Command, the Russian planes dumped fuel on the drone and flew in front of it dangerously, and eventually one of them hit the drone’s propeller, forcing the US to bring down the drone.
“This unsafe and unprofessional act by the Russians nearly caused both aircraft to crash,” said US Air Force commander James B. Hecker in a. He also stated that the drone was “conducting routine operations” and that this incident will not stop US aircraft from operating in international airspace.
