U.S. releases video of Russian jets’ encounter with American drone, Ukraine Russia Military Video, GoPro Cam Footage

The U.S. military on Thursday released video of what it says is a Russian fighter jet clipping a U.S. surveillance drone over the Black Sea this week, an incident that has fueled concern about the United States becoming further drawn into the war in Ukraine and led to a series of recriminations in Washington and Moscow.
The incident occurred early Tuesday, with two Russian Su-27 fighter jets buzzing the MQ-9 Reaper and dumping fuel on it in what the Pentagon maintains is international airspace. One of the aircraft collided with the propeller on the back of the drone, forcing its operators to bring down the aircraft, U.S. officials said.
Russian officials have denied that either fighter hit the aircraft, saying instead that, after it was observed having breached a self-declared exclusion zone, the drone made “sharp maneuvers” and entered “uncontrolled flight” before losing altitude and crashing into the sea.
U.S. officials have said that the incident occurred about 50 miles off the coast of Crimea.
