BREAKING: The U.S. military released video footage that it says shows the encounter between a Russian fighter jet and an American drone in international airspace over the Black Sea two days ago.
The 42-second video, released Thursday, shows a Russian Su-27 approaching the back of the MQ-9 drone and beginning to release fuel as it passes, the Pentagon said.
The U.S. military said it ditched the MQ-9 Reaper in the sea on Tuesday after the Russian fighter jet poured fuel on the unmanned aerial vehicle, in an apparent attempt to blind its optical instruments and drive it out of the area, and then struck its propeller.Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen.
