Antonov was called to “send strong resistance.” Also, US Ambassador to Russia Lynn Tracy “delivered a strong message to the Russian Foreign Ministry.”
The Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, after the incident of the downing of the American MQ-9 Reaper drone in the Black Sea, said that his country does not want a “confrontation” with the States, and also said that American aviation should stay away “from the border of Russia.” About this on Tuesday, March 14, writes CNN.
In connection with the March 14 collision of an American Reaper drone with a Russian Su-27 aircraft, the diplomat was summoned to the State Department in Washington to meet with Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs Karen Donfried.
According to him, the Ministry of Defense of any country can allegedly respond in a similar way “to the threat of such danger on its borders.”
“In our opinion, the American aircraft near the Russian border has nothing to do,” he said.
The Russian diplomat also expressed the opinion that the actions of the Russian pilots were professional, and “there were no contacts, the fighters did not use any weapons.”
It will be remembered that today, March 14, the US European Command reported that a Russian aircraft collided with an American drone in the Black Sea.
The Russian Defense Ministry said its Su-27 fighters had nothing to do with the downing of the American MQ-9 Reaper drone in the Black Sea. They also reported that he approached the Crimea and flew with violations.
