Ukraine war: US claims Russia downs drone over Black Sea

The US has condemned what it called a 'reckless' manoeuvre by a Russian jet, which has brought down an American drone.
The fighter jet collided with the propeller of the drone as it was flying over the Black Sea, south of Ukraine.
The US military says the unmanned drone was over international waters, and posed no threat.

Al Jazeera’s Shihab Rattansi joins us live from Washington, DC for the latest updates.

The same people that blew up Nord stream are talking about environmental responsibility.
Wow...

[MoManthepoet]

Good thing the US used a reaper drone, and not something as terrifying as a weather balloon.

[boycotte]

Imagine a Russian drone near Florida. "Over international waters" LOL

[goodluck]

What was the US drone doing 10, 000 miles away from home ???

[manggiskuning]

US shot down a balloon with a missile while Russia literally knocked down the drone.... well that's obviously a more cost effective option. 😄

[GwynBleys]

Sound very competent and professional to me. Downed a drone without destroying it and didnt fire at it so they can always claim it was an accident. Brilliant

[blacmagicwand]

Environmental hazard 😂 coming from the US that blew up a pipe line underwater

[greengoggles]

Blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline is also (to a much greater extent) "environmentally unsound". Brandon needs to go

[prudencendungutsemubili]

But logically and without taking sides is this the right time US to be flying near Russian borders? What was the drone doing near Russian borders whether in international waters or not, what was American from doing there at this period of time?

[SamsRussianAdventures]

Imagine the outrage if it was an Russian drone of the cost of the US

[welanikhondowe]

USA is an Ocean Away, what was this military Aircraft doing in Russia's back yard?

[creative_cooper]

The main question should be: What the heck is a US drone doing in the black sea?

[alinaswesimutowe]

The Drone was thousands of kilometers away from the US and I can imagine if it was a Russian drone off the cost of Alaska or Hawaii

[wahomeadvocate]

What was the American drone doing all the way in black sea?

[macriggland]

Buy that pilot a beer and give him a hot plate, excellent move and very brave.

[rocksonwilson]

What part of the Black sea belongs to the United States?

[ГеннадийШуплецов-рп]

The dron was too far from the USA, but too close to the Sevastopol Russian naval base.

[renator]

it would seem that the black sea is a bit far from the us coasts.

[leomandchourian]

Imagine a Russian drone over gulf of Mexico..

[desmondchia]

Hats off to the Russian pilot.

Can’t deny his ingenuity and skills.
