- a Russian fighter jet collided with an American drone over the Black Sea. What is known about the incident
- On the morning of March 14, two Russian Su-27 fighter jets attempted to intercept an MQ-9 drone of the US Air Force conducting reconnaissance in international airspace.
- As reported in the European Command of the US Armed Forces, one of the Su-27s engaged the drone, due to which the American forces had to shoot down the MQ-9.
- This dangerous and unprofessional act of the Russians almost led to the crash of both planes, adding the commander of the US Air Force in Europe and Africa.
- Despite the incident, US and allied aircraft will continue to conduct operations in international airspace.
- Also, State Department spokesman Price said that the US is summoning the Russian ambassador to the State Department because of this incident.
- The aggression of the Russians is uncontrolled, that is why it is important to fight back and defeat the Russian Federation as soon as possible.
Russia had no legal grounds for attacking the American drone, because it did not violate Russian airspace, and Moscow and Washington are not in a state of armed conflict.
The Kremlin continues to grope for “red lines” in the confrontation with the West, so now it is expedient to point the aggressor in his place.
Russia deliberately committed the first act of aggression. Possible further actions of the US in response will have a completely legitimate basis.
The incident cannot be called a “military success” of Russia: US and allied aviation will continue to conduct operations in international airspace.
Russian Navy ships have started search operations to take possession of MQ-9 wreckage. So for the USA, the reservations regarding the supply of MQ-9 to Ukraine disappear for reasons of “preventing the acquisition of Russian secret technologies.”
