 Pictured: Russian Su-27 multi-role 4th generation fighter jet flying over the Black Sea. Two 🇷🇺 Russian Su-27 fighter jets shot at and struck the propeller of a 🇺🇸 U.S. military "Reaper" surveillance drone on Tuesday, causing it to crash into the Black Sea in an incident condemned as "reckless' by the U.S. military. "Our MQ-9 aircraft was conducting routine operations in international airspace when it was intercepted and hit by a Russian aircraft, resulting in a crash and complete loss of the MQ-9," U.S. Air Force General James Hecker, who overseas the U.S. Air Force in the region, said in a statement. “Two Russian Su-27 aircraft conducted an unsafe and unprofessional intercept with a U.S. Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance unmanned MQ-9 aircraft that was operating within international airspace over the Black Sea today. 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. U.S Europe Command || Reuters || Atlas News 19 Likes 5 Shares

Lies, what's your fountainhead? Russia will never engage in such reckless behaviour. Both US and Russian commanders communicate regularly to avoid such incidents. But if this truly happened, then Putin is biting more than he can chew US no longer sees Russia as a threat or competitor, the focus is on China now 87 Likes 13 Shares |

It is now direct. No longer indirect. Now let's the fight begin! Trust America to retaliate and call it mistake or accident. You will hear some headline like, "USA mistakingly brought down a Russian bound Aircraft hovering around US marine territory thinking it was Pakistani war plane" lol 😁.

We are living in crazy prophetic times, The Biblical birth pangs are not normal. There is no need to fear but rather have faith in the salvation of the blood of the Lamb and look up for the blessed hope of the Rapture because the church will not be here in the great tribulation! Ensure you are living in the Conciousness of the return of JESUS Christ and eternity. 30 Likes 4 Shares |

A pair of Russian fighter jets intercepted and forced down an American surveillance drone over the Black Sea on Tuesday, U.S. officials said, with one Russian jet colliding with the propeller of the unmanned aircraft after both Russian warplanes dumped fuel on it. Are you on Telegram? Subscribe to our channel for the latest updates on Russia’s war in Ukraine. The incident prompted Air Force drone pilots to bring down the MQ-9 Reaper in international waters in what U.S. officials said has become a “pattern of dangerous actions by Russian pilots” while interacting with American and allied aircraft in international airspace. The actions, U.S. military officials said in a statement, “could lead to miscalculation and unintended escalation” between the two countries. “Our MQ-9 aircraft was conducting routine operations in international airspace when it was intercepted and hit by a Russian aircraft, resulting in a crash and complete loss of the MQ-9,” said Maj. Gen. James B. Hecker, a senior military official overseeing Air Force operations in the region. “In fact, this unsafe and unprofessional act by the Russians nearly caused both aircraft to crash.” This is a developing story and will be updated. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/03/14/russia-forces-down-us-reaper-drone-black-sea/ |

Well, Black Sea is Russia border, which is over 5K KM from USA border. Just Russia traveling to Cuba, you will see USA medias making noises on it like Russia jets have dropped bombs on NY  Last week Russia flew Tu bomber close to USA border, USA was making noise about saying its provocation yet it not provocation if they flew close to Russia border/ Chinese border. Make everyone dey crazy, we are dealing with Obi and Tinubu for now in Nigeria but when we are done with the matter. Nigeria will fly our alpha jets close to USA and Russia because We are giant of Africa Modified: As a result of sharp maneuvering, the US drone went into an uncontrolled flight with a loss of altitude and collided with the water surface." - Russia Ministry of Defense 28 Likes 1 Share |
