This is how the diplomat reacted to an article in the American newspaper Stars and Stripes, which indicated that Taiwan had paid 555 million dollars last year for four MQ-9B drones.
How much did the drone cost, asked Zakharova telegram channel . “Can US officials at least answer this simple question? – added the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.
Recall that on March 14, an American MQ-9 Reaper drone crashed in the international waters of the Black Sea. According to the RF Defense Ministry, with the transponders switched off, he was heading towards the border with Russia and entered the area of the “temporary airspace utilization regime” set up as part of a special military operation. Su-27 fighters were lifted into the air to identify the intruder. As a result of sharp maneuvers, the UAV went into uncontrolled flight, lost altitude and collided with the surface of the water.
Later, CNN reported that the United States, after the loss of a drone in the Black Sea, sent another UAV to the crash site. Additionally, Washington is now reassessing its drone operations in the region. At the same time, the White House said it had no intention of complying with the restrictions Russia had introduced in the airspace over the Black Sea under the NWO.
