Video From Cockpit Of Su-27 That Collided With US Drone Shown In Russian Federation

The footage shows a fragment of the fighter flying close to the MQ-9 Reaper.

A video from a Su-27 bomber that rammed a US MQ-9 Reaper drone while conducting reconnaissance in international airspace in the Black Sea has been shown in the Russian Federation.

The video was published by a blogger, a retired Russian combat pilot with the pseudonym of "Fighterbomber".

The footage shows a fragment of a Russian fighter jet flying next to an American drone.

As Charter97.org reported, on March 14, a Russian Su-27 fighter jet rammed an American MQ-9 Reaper reconnaissance UAV in international airspace over the Black Sea. The US Armed Forces European Command said that before the collision, the Su-27 dropped fuel several times and flew in front of the MQ-9 in a "reckless, environmentally dangerous and unprofessional manner".

The White House commented on the incident, calling the actions of the Russians "unprofessional and dangerous". At the same time, Russia did not admit its guilt, calling the MQ-9 Reaper mission a "provocation". The US called the Russian ambassador "on the carpet" over the incident.

Today, the US CBS TV channel has created a video reenactment of the incident over the Black Sea.
