Russian fighter jet downs US drone in Black Sea, violating international law.
TL;DR Summary
A Russian fighter jet hit the propeller of a US surveillance drone over the Black Sea, causing American forces to bring down the unmanned aerial vehicle, the US said. Russia insisted its warplanes didn’t hit the MQ-9 Reaper drone. The incident appeared to be the first time since the height of the Cold War that a US aircraft was brought down after an encounter with a Russian warplane. The US summoned the Russian ambassador to lodge a protest and the US ambassador to Russia has made similar representations in Moscow.
