A U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone had to be downed in the Black Sea on Tuesday after being harassed by two Russian fighter jets, one of which struck the drone’s propeller and nearly crashed.
U.S. European Command said U.S. forces had to “bring the MQ-9 down” in international waters after the propeller strike around 7:03 a.m. local time. Leading up to the collision, the Russian Su-27 jets had dumped fuel on the drone and flown in front of it “in a reckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional manner.”
