 A Russian fighter jet has collided with a US Reaper drone over the Black Sea, causing the drone to crash into international waters, a US European command said on Tuesday. The incident occurred after 7 a.m. on Tuesday when two Russian Su-27 fighter jets flew up to the MQ-9 Reaper drone over international waters west of Crimea. According to the statement released by US European command, MQ-9 was completely disabled during the crash. The statement said the US MQ-9 was conducting routine operations in international airspace when it was intercepted and hit by a Russian aircraft. According to the statement, Russian pilots attempted to disrupt the US aircraft before the collision. James Hecker, commander of US Air Force's Europe and Air Force's Africa, has described the interception as unsafe and unprofessional act by Russia.
