☆ A Russian fighter jet clipped a US drone over the Black Sea, causing a crash and the 'complete loss' of the American aircraft, US military says
  + stars: | 2023-03-14 | by ( Jake Epstein | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
A Russian fighter jet clipped a US military drone operating over the Black Sea on Tuesday. It's the latest aggressive maneuver by Russian forces against NATO members in eastern Europe. When the Russian plane clipped the drone, the US military was forced to bring the aircraft down in international waters. EUCOM criticized the incident as "reckless, environmentally unsound, and unprofessional" and said it demonstrates a "lack of competence" from Russian forces. Over the years, Russian aircraft have also repeatedly buzzed NATO warships in the Black Sea, and Russian jets have on a number of occasions conducted "unsafe" maneuvers around American planes.
