A Russian fighter has collided with a US Reaper drone, forcing it down into the Black Sea, in what US forces called an “unsafe and unprofessional” intercept.

A US European Command statement said the collision happened just after 7am on Tuesday morning, when two Russian Su-27 fighter jets flew up to the MQ-9 Reaper drone over international waters west of Crimea. The statement said the Russian pilots sought to disrupt the US aircraft before the collision.

Looks like Russia tried to assault the US drone west of Crimea....causing it to crash into international waters.
Scratch one $32M US drone.

Developing story...but, likely, a sign of more things to come.

Biden never does. It's the people behind him. Offend them enough and it will all burn. We will know if the Feds start infiltrating the Russian army to find domestic terrorists.

It is said that the jet sprayed fuel before colliding.

Then rammed the drone's prop.
The Russian jet was not harmed.

The sad thing is that we don't have an army to fight with but they'll try to start something anyhow.

Biden won't do anything. Putin knows it.

Biden will likely call for more trannies in the military as his response.

Hopefully not.

No US servicemen were injured.

They cost us some money, but we’re doing that to them every day.

I don’t think this is a wild show of aggression, just taking some wins where they can.

By dumping fuel and downing the drone, the Russian pilot was “further polluting the fragile Black Sea

I guess the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage was okay, because that was the Baltic Sea.

What, exactly, do you recommend that Biden should do that you would approve of? What would Trump do?

Aint it amazing a drone can get splashed by a Russian jet in the Black Sea and we know details immediately and definitively?

Not so much on what was fired upon over the Great Lakes ...



⚡️⚡️UPDATE: ⚡️🇷🇺: The #Russian Navy has recovered the American drone that crashed in the Black Sea.

After Zelensky fired missiles into Poland, I'm doubting this will do it.

But hey, "war children....."
