A $32 million U.S. drone that was flying over the Black Sea fell into the water after it encountered two Russian fighter jets.
The drone in question was an unmanned American Reaper drone—specifically, the MQ-9 model. It was flying through international airspace, over the Black Sea near the Crimean peninsula, toward the Russian border.
As the drone was getting closer to the border, its location was picked up by Russian radar, and as a response, two Russian SU-27 fighter jets were scrambled in order to intercept.
