The US operators decided to crash it into the Black Sea. Ever seen a Reaper drone? It's as big as a Mig and carries quite a bit of firepower. Crimea is Russian whether the US Government wants to recognize it or not. This is not the first "incident" and probably won't be the last. It's not International Airspace, it's contested Airspace at this point. We shouldn't be there in the first place since our government continues to assure us that we are just giving logistical support to Ukraine.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 85437555 Russia 03/14/2023 03:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Russian media about the incident: What is known about the U.S. UAV that crashed over the Black Sea On the evening of March 14, media reports emerged about an American drone that crashed over the Black Sea. The France Presse news agency reported that a Russian aircraft "collided" with an American MQ-9 drone, causing the drone to crash into the Black Sea. Al Jazeera news agency later published a similar report, citing a source in the Pentagon. He accused of unprofessionalism of the Russian fighter pilots. Statement of the European command Then the European command of the US army made an official statement about the incident. It reported that the US military MQ-9 drone was performing a reconnaissance flight in international airspace over the Black Sea. "At about 7:03 a.m. (9:03 a.m. Moscow time - a comment by the news agency Krasnaya Vesna) one of the Russian Su-27 aircraft struck the propeller of MQ-9, as a result of which the American forces had to shoot down MQ-9 in international waters," the statement said. The European command stressed that before the collision, the Russian fighters "poured fuel on the drone and flew in front of the MQ-9 in a reckless, unsafe for the environment and unprofessional manner." The incident shows the incompetence, unprofessionalism and unsafe behavior of Russian pilots, the European Command said. "Our MQ-9 aircraft was conducting routine operations in international airspace when it was intercepted and shot down by a Russian aircraft, resulting in the crash and total loss of the MQ-9," the statement quoted U.S. Air Force Europe and Africa commander Gen. James B. Hecker. - In fact, this unsafe and unprofessional action by the Russians almost caused both planes to go down." The statement called the Russian pilots' actions dangerous and "could lead to miscalculation and unintended escalation." U.S. Air Force planes and drones regularly fly over Europe in accordance with international laws "to enhance collective European defense and security" and "to support the national objectives of allies, partners and the United States." Washington's Reaction John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications at the White House National Security Council, spoke to reporters later in the day. He stressed that President Joe Biden had received all the information about the event over the Black Sea. Kirby said that Russian fighter jets had intercepted US drones over the Black Sea before, but today's incident "deserves attention because of how unsafe and unprofessional it was. However, the coordinator stated that the UAV posed no threat to anyone and was operating in international airspace. Kirby stressed that the US military would continue flights over the Black Sea in accordance with international law. He said the US State Department would contact Moscow on the issue to "express our concern about the incident. Washington then summoned the Russian ambassador in connection with the UAV incident. What the drone was doing over the Black Sea Recall that U.S. UAVs have regularly conducted reconnaissance flights over the Black Sea since the start of the special operation. There is no doubt that all collected data is transmitted to the Ukrainian military. According to a number of experts, U.S. drones are used to give targeting instructions to Ukrainian UAVs that attacked Crimea. It should be noted that the MQ-9 Reaper belongs to the class of heavy strike and reconnaissance drones. Its maximum speed exceeds 400 km/h, it can stay in the air for more than 24 hours in a row. The cost of the unit is estimated at $30 million (2.25 billion rubles). The US Armed Forces have around 70 such drones. On March 14, Syrian President Bashar Assad arrived in Moscow on an official visit. The exact route is not known, but it might well have been over the Black Sea. At 21:38 Moscow time, the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry in its Tlgrm channel published an official statement about the incident with the MQ-9 drone. The ministry said that in the morning of March 14, the airspace control means of the Russian Air and Space Forces recorded the flight of an American UAV in the direction of the Russian state border. The U.S. drone flew with its transponders turned off and violated the boundaries of the area of temporary regime of airspace use, which Russia established for the special operation in Ukraine and communicated to all countries. "In order to identify the intruder, fighters from the air defense forces on duty were raised into the air. As a result of sharp maneuvering around 9:30 (Moscow time), the MQ-9 drone went into unguided flight with loss of altitude and collided with the water surface," the ministry said in a statement. The Russian Defense Ministry stressed that the Russian aircraft did not use on-board weapons and did not come into contact with the MQ-9. The fighters landed safely at their home airfield.

Reason? Because All sin past present and future was pkaced upon YAHshua 2000 years ago approximately. Some say that certain arch angels collected it all (past present and future) and put it on Him at the cross at that time. Making what happened there and then the central focus of time and eternity(thence akso including infinity as a subset). Potential meaning.

User ID: 84369183 United States 03/14/2023 03:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sounds like the drone was running in stealth mode with its transponder turned off. Crimea has been attacked multiple times in the last year. Drone attacks, torpedo attacks on boats in moorings and the big cruise missile that hit the Crimean bridge. I don't blame Russia for knocking it down. Justme |
