Russian aircraft flew ‘dangerously close’ to US drone over Syria FMTNews FMTWorld
Earlier this month, Russian fighter jets had also flown close to several US drone aircraft over Syria.
“We have seen the early reports of a second Russian fighter aircraft this week, flying dangerously close to our drone on a defeat Isis mission,” White House spokesman Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters in a press briefing. The US military said on Tuesday a Russian fighter jet hit a US drone with a flare on Sunday and “severely” damaged its propeller over Syria, in violation of established protocols and international norms.
Russia intervened in the Syrian civil war in 2015, tipping the balance in President Bashar Al-Assad’s favor. Moscow has since expanded its military facilities in the country with a permanent air base and also has a naval base.
