There is chaos in the Black Sea after a Russian fighter jet flew in front of a US drone and damaged it, forcing the operators to shoot it down in the water.
According to cnn.com the Reaper drone and two SU-27 Flanker jets were operating over international waters over the Black Sea when one of the Russian jets deliberately flew ahead and dropped fuel in front of the drone, according to a US official.
One of the jets then damaged the Reaper’s propeller, which is mounted on the back of the drone, the official said. Propeller damage forced the US to shoot down the Reaper in international waters in the Black Sea.
Russian and US aircraft have operated over the Black Sea during the war, but this is the first known such interaction, a potentially dangerous escalation at a critical moment in the fighting.
