The White House 🇺🇸 said it’s “not uncommon” for Russia to intercept US aircraft. However, Tuesday’s incident was unique in how “unsafe, unprofessional, and reckless” it was

Russia didn't intercept USA’s Drone; they purposefully made it crash, the same as shooting a missile at it

@GeorgeRafeletos You mean 50.6%. I took the measurements of Bakhmut’s total residential area, and the area that Ukraine currently holds. A lot of analysis was put into getting the frontline correct. As of now it's 50.6%, I could be off by like 0.2% to 0.4%. but a lot of data was factored into it.… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1635705475332296706

Here's the full press release of the @US_EUCOM regarding the incident involving a US MQ-9 and Russian Su-27 over the Black Sea.

According to the US Air Force General James B. Hecker, "this unsafe and unprofessional act by the Russians nearly caused both aircraft to crash.” https://t.co/ti2JLP7b9G https://t.co/1oD42rMRq1

RT @shashj: US Europe command: “At approximately 7:03 AM (CET), one of the Russian Su-27 aircraft [over the Black Sea] struck the propeller of the MQ-9, causing U.S. forces to have to bring the MQ-9 down in international waters.”

Good thread by @MassDara on various hazardous Russian intercepts over the Black Sea in the past decade or so.

We've done research on Russian coercive signaling, which today's MQ-9/SU-27 incident was. It's a close pass that went bad. There are patterns of how Russian platforms intercept U.S. or NATO platforms operating near Russia but in international airspace/waters. Context below. https://t.co/Kq2sTHwE5c

@35th_potus @Porter_Anderson @MarkHertling @brikeilarcnn @NATO The Russian Fighter Jet dumped fuel multiple times on the US drone then hit its propeller causing it to crash. It's not an error, it was a deliberate attack. Use your common sense.

@Porter_Anderson @MarkHertling @brikeilarcnn @NATO A demarche does nothing to stop Russia from doing this again. Have they not learned anything from the past 30 years?

"There was [a] deliberate intent to interfere with the MQ-9, but the collision seems to be simple incompetence," an Air Force official separately told The War Zone https://t.co/4XjfNKsr0n

@Porter_Anderson @MarkHertling @brikeilarcnn @NATO A mistake? Are we living on the same planet? This was a purposeful attack, the Russian Su-27 fighter jet dumped fuel on USA’s drone multiple times then hit it's propellor causing it to crash. That's not a big mistake.
