Russian Jets Continue to Harass US Drones Over Syria
Russian jets flew dangerously close to US drones over Syria for the second consecutive day, dropping flares and engaging in sustained and unprofessional interactions. The US military has urged Russia to cease this reckless behavior and adhere to professional standards. Both countries operate in Syria, with the US focusing on fighting ISIS and Russia supporting President Assad. This incident follows a similar one four months ago when a Russian jet forced down an American drone over the Black Sea.
