For the United States, a downed drone has no particular value, despite the colossal cost of the device. Russian Air Force Major General Sergei Lipovoy suggests that the Pentagon pay special attention to the contents of the container on the drone’s suspension, NSN reports.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation notes that the American drone was moving through the airspace with the transponders turned off. In addition, the device tracked in violation of the limits of the airspace utilization zone. According to a statement from the Russian Defense Ministry, the drone lost control due to a brutal maneuver, which caused it to fall into the waters of the Black Sea.
The Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation stressed that the Russian side will try to remove the wreckage of the device from the seabed. However, it is possible that such an operation is impossible due to the aggressive environment more than a hundred meters deep. However, the contents of the container are valuable not only to the United States, but also to other countries.
Earlier, test pilot Andronov suggested that if a Su-27 aircraft could knock down an American drone, then only with airflow. The expert suggested that the drone was flying at low speed, while the fighter flying ahead was maneuvering.
