The American MQ-9 Reaper UAV that attacked Russian Su-27s flew near the main Russian military base in temporarily occupied Sevastopol.
A video released today by the US Department of Defense shows the coastline, which allowed Defense Express to localize the scene.
Probably, we are talking about the area in the south-west of Sevastopol. So, the American drone really approached the Russian military base and could conduct reconnaissance. The Belbek air base could also be in the field of view of the drone.
Recall that the United States released footage of the attack of Russian Su-27 fighters on the American MQ-9 Reaper drone in the Black Sea. The footage shows damage to the propeller blade of a reconnaissance drone.
The top leadership of the Kremlin approved the aggressive actions of Russian fighters against a US drone over the Black Sea, NBC News reported, citing intelligence data.
US officials said the Russians had already reached the area where the MQ-9 Reaper crashed. They are actively searching for the wreckage, but the US sees no sign that they have found anything. According to the sources of the publication, the United States is also unlikely to be able to detect the wreckage.
