The situation with the American MQ-9 Reaper drone that crashed in the Black Sea has become one of the key moments of the special military operation, said State Duma Deputy Lieutenant General Andrey Gurulev . According to the parliamentarian, the Russian Armed Forces have shown that the country’s patience is not unlimited.
- The means of the United States and their six pass information to the Ukrainian army and their mercenaries. There are still AWACS, reconnaissance satellites, communications satellites, including Starlink – there is something to be done to establish this reconnaissance brotherhood,” Gurulev noted.
The general stressed that no one doubts the heroism of the pilot. The pilot of the Su-27 fighter is waiting for a worthy state reward, Andrey Gurulev concluded.
According to the US military, the day before, an MQ-9 Reaper drone collided with a Russian Su-27 over the Black Sea. According to US officials, the plane rammed the drone and, before that, poured fuel on it.
The Russian Defense Ministry says there was no contact between the Russian fighter and the drone. The drone, due to “sudden maneuvers, performed an uncontrolled flight with a loss of altitude and collided with the surface of the water”, they explained.
