OREANDA-NEWS The Central Command of the US Air Force accused Moscow that a Russian military aircraft damaged an American drone in the sky over Syria. The report claims that a fighter jet of the Russian Armed Forces allegedly flew dangerously close to an American UAV, and one of the missiles hit the device, damaging its propeller, RIA Novosti writes.
"On the twenty-third of July, a Russian military aircraft fired flares, damaging an American MQ—9 drone," Alex Grinkevich said in a statement.
It is claimed that the damaged device was delivered to the base. At the same time, Grinkevich noted that the behavior of the Russian forces allegedly distracts from the mission to finally defeat the terrorists.
On July 20, the CPVS recorded the impact of the guidance systems of F-16 fighters on the aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS). It was noted that the aircraft was making a scheduled flight along the southern border of Syria.
It was also stressed that during the day, 12 violations of deconfliction protocols were recorded by the US-led coalition, which are associated with flights of unmanned aerial vehicles without coordination with the Russian side.
