Photo: John Moore\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>A Russian jet crashed into a U.S. drone above the Black Sea on Tuesday,forcing the U.S. to bring the drone down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Driving the news: <\/strong>The incident is part of a &quot;pattern of dangerous actions by Russian pilots while interacting with U.S. and Allied aircraft over international airspace,&quot; U.S. European Command said in a press release.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zoom in: <\/strong>The collision occurred when one of two Russian Su-27 jets struck the propeller of the MQ-9 drone, resulting in a \u201ccomplete loss\u201d of the drone, U.S. Air Force Gen. James B. Hecker said in the press release.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Before the crash, the jets had \u201cdumped fuel on and flew in front\u201d the drone, in a manner the U.S. military described as \u201creckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The big picture: <\/strong>When asked about the collision at a press briefing Tuesday, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said President Biden had already been briefed on the matter.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Such intercepts between U.S. and Russian aircraft over the Black Sea are not uncommon, but Tuesday&#x27;s collision was unique because of how &quot;unsafe and unprofessional&quot; it was, Kirby noted.<\/li>\n<li>&quot;I want to stress that this MQ-9 was operating in international airspace over international waters, and posed a threat to nobody,&quot; he said, adding that the incident would not deter the U.S. from operating in international airspace over the Black Sea.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>State of play: <\/strong>The U.S. has been flying MQ-9 Reaper drones, which are capable of intelligence collection and surveillance, over the Black Sea since before Russia&#x27;s invasion of Ukraine, CNN reported.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Russia did not immediately respond to news of the collision, though it has voiced concern about U.S. intelligence flights near the Crimean peninsula in the past, per AP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Editor&#x27;s note: This story has been updated to correct that just one jet collided with the drone.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2023\/03\/14\/russian-jet-us-drone-black-sea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An MQ-9 Reaper drone in Fort Huachuca,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":172407,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23056],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
