Pentagon releases de-classified video of Black Sea drone incident • FRANCE 24 English

In a rare move, the Pentagon on Thursday released a de-classified video showing Russia's intercept of a US military surveillance drone downed over the Black Sea two days ago. It was the first direct US-Russian incident since the Ukraine war began, worsening already tense relations between Washington and Moscow. FRANCE 24's International Affairs Commentator Douglas Herbert watched the video, he tells us more.

Russians really went out of their way to hit that thing.

[lawrencemitchell]

They were dumping fuel to get into the intake of The MQ-9's turbo prop engine causing a rich condition flame out. Fuel streaking over the camera or sensors wouldn't likely stay for long.

[hourbee]

The Russians said this incident never happened now this.

[cleopisano]

We the U.S never blew up the pipeline to Germany either

[GoldenArrow]

Spectacular maneuvering from another Russian pilot.

[JuanRamirez-jmbp]

Russians lying???
How is it possible ? 🤣

[SainyaHokage]

The russians did not know they would be seen doing that stunt? I mean, they don"t know a drone has cams?

[rafique]

Why were you there in the first place?

[disanKh]

Yeah here's come Doug...
Bty SU-27 pilot looks quite professional

[adiadi]

The Chinese balloon was flying unprofessional also

[deusvult]

It is said that the pilots, died tragically in accidents afterwards, one by a gas stove explosion in his kitchen and the other one fell off a window from 6th floor.

[clairewithbanjo]

Maybe the yanks should have used a baloon…oh wait.

[faithfaithmashavira]

Why is it some people wish that the drone is in a thousand pieces and it will be difficult to salvage

[SpecialMuppetOperation]

Lavrov: Wait a minute, wait a minute. Just a second, just a second.

[Bob]

Your expert completely failed to mention that after the second pass by the Sukhois, you can clearly see a bent blade on the propeller of the Reaper 🤦🏻‍♂️

[curtkoehn]

The US clearly suggested it was "reckless" and "unprofessional." There was no suggestion of intent.

[neddyladdy]

He says It wasn't seen and then he goes on to confirm the official statement. Are we supposed to be convinced ?

[topweddingsa]

What's matter is not the information that was been deleted 🙂what matter is the physical drone, the engineering of the drone (That's what Russia needs)

[subbunittala]

Pilot did an extraordinary job...tit for tat!

[daviddunning]

A Military drone with its transponder off, being used to target Russian assets, in a war zone. Duh!
