Russian Fighter Jets Harass US Drones in Syria: Dramatic Video Released
TL;DR
Russian military aircraft engaged in unsafe and unprofessional behavior by harassing and endangering U.S. MQ-9 drones conducting a mission against ISIS in Syria. The Russian jets dropped parachute flares and positioned their aircraft in front of the drones, forcing evasive maneuvers and reducing the operator's ability to safely operate. These actions are seen as a threat to the safety of both U.S. and Russian forces, and the U.S. urges Russia to cease such reckless behavior.
