The US military demonstrated how a Russian Su-27 dropped fuel on an MQ-9 Reaper drone.
On March 16, the US European Command (EUCOM) published a declassified video of the incident with the Russian Su-27 and the American MQ-9 Reaper UAV over the Black Sea.
The video was shot with a drone camera.
“On March 14, 2023, two Russian Su-27 aircraft conducted an unsafe and unprofessional interception of a US Air Force MQ-9 unmanned reconnaissance, surveillance and reconnaissance vehicle in international airspace over of the Black Sea,” said EUCOM.
The video shows how the Su-27 dumps fuel on the drone, after which the image is interrupted.
Remember, on March 14, the US military said that a Russian aircraft shot down a US reconnaissance drone over the Black Sea.
The Russian Federation has denied that its fighters have engaged the MQ-9 Reaper. According to the country’s Ministry of Defense, the device “flew with violations” and fell as a result of sharp maneuvering.
