U.S military releases newly declassified video showing a Russian fighter jet harassing and colliding with an American drone over the Black Sea on Tuesday.
The footage, released Thursday morning by the U.S. European Command and filmed from the drone's onboard camera, shows a Russian Su-27 jet conducting what Washington calls an"unsafe/unprofessional intercept of a U.S. Air Force MQ-9 in international airspace" earlier this week.told NBC News that the Kremlin leadership had approved the aggressive actions
While the 43-second video has been edited for length and not verified by NBC News, the U.S. military said it shows the events in sequential order. It was the “Russian leadership’s intention to be aggressive in the intercept,” said one of the officials, although another said he had not received indications that the signoff went all the way up to President Vladimir Putin.
Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a news conference Wednesday that there’s probably not a lot of debris to recover, and noted that the part of the Black Sea where the drone landed is as much as 5,000 feet deep.
