The US Army European Command blamed the pilots of the Russian Su-27 fighter for its loss of the MQ-9 Reaper UAV over the Black Sea

Collision between a Russian Su-27 fighter jet and an American reconnaissance drone MQ-9 Reaper happened over the Black Sea. This was reported by the European Command of the US Army.

According to currently available information, a Russian fighter jet collided with an American drone today, i.e. on Tuesday, March 14th. It happened over the neutral waters of the Black Sea, as a result of the collision, the American drone received damage to the propeller, could not continue the flight and fell into the sea. The Russian aircraft returned to its base airfield in Crimea. Whether he received any injuries was not reported.

This information is also confirmed by an unnamed high-ranking official from the Pentagon, who said that there were two Russian Su-27 fighters, they worked as a couple.

It was one of two Su-27s flying there. This happened in international airspace over international waters. The propeller of the drone was damaged and the drone fell into the water west of Crimea

- he said.

The Pentagon has already called the actions of the Russian pilot "reckless" and promised to continue flying reconnaissance drones in neutral airspace. According to the commander of the US Air Force in Europe, General James Hecker, the dangerous maneuvers of Russian fighters could lead to unpredictable consequences and escalation. He confirmed the total loss drone.

The MQ-9 was performing routine operations in international airspace when it was intercepted and actually shot down by a Russian aircraft, causing the MQ-9 to crash and be completely lost.

- declared the general.

The Russian Defense Ministry has yet to comment on the incident.

I hope that they will still catch it and study it. I hope that unsuspecting fishermen have already accidentally set up nets in the sea to catch fish, and then a drone fell on them quite by accident.

I hope that it is still caught and studied.

In the area of ​​"tactical use of aviation kerosene," the forces of the Black Sea Fleet are searching for and recovering the wreckage of the fallen American reconnaissance and strike drone MQ-9 Reaper. Published and records of negotiations in the area of ​​the fall of the drone https://t.me/milinfolive/97987 (second record) indicating the ongoing search. Perhaps something interesting will be able to catch. Judging by the negotiations, something has already been fished out. At one time, the Iranians filled up the RQ-4 Global Hawk and were able to catch something useful in the sea for their drone program.

Firstly, not shot down, but collided.

secondly, they did not collide ...
Simply, since this apparatus hung every day for 8-10 hours (as I went to work) in "neutral waters" near our borders, ours poured fuel onto it. After that, the "predator" did not fly ... for some reason.)

A slightly different "bird" went to work - a strategic reconnaissance RQ-4 Global Hawk from Sicily.
And a smaller strike-reconnaissance MQ-9 Reaper Reaper "fell" airplane.
But this is an even more provocative incident. After all, an attack UAV, unlike a reconnaissance aircraft, could carry weapons, heading for Sevastopol.

Version loss of a drone from the blogs of the fraternal people:

The fighter flew in front of the UAV several times, as well as leaked fuel in front of it. During one of these maneuvers, the Su-27 hit the MQ-9 propeller, after which it lost control and was shot down by the Americans themselves. The US command accused the Russian Aerospace Forces of irresponsibility and violation of flight safety.

The control system is specially designed for fully autonomous operation in the conditions of suppression of signals from the satellite. In extreme cases, it will return home using an inertial navigation system.

Electronic warfare can be used not only for drone control systems, although returning it to the base is also a failure of the task. A directed effect of the EMP type is also possible on the engine control systems and devices for ensuring its operation.

Our flyer must be awarded !!!

Naturally. Reminds me of an episode in the early 50s when, over the neutral waters of the Baltic, the commander of naval aviation ordered the shooting down of an impudent Swede. The Swede was spying in our waters and was already leaving. Peressavshi (crossed out), the cowardly Admiral Kuznetsov told Joseph the Terrible that he would definitely punish the colonel who had given the order to defeat. To which Iosif Vissarionovich, stuffing his pipe, politely asked "how are you going to punish this major general?" The incident was immediately settled.

[Seal]

Basically true, but not entirely true. First, Colonel F.I. Shinkarenko, who gave that order, was not the commander of naval aviation. Moreover, in those years in the Baltic we had two Baltic fleets - the Northern Baltic and the Southern Baltic. And accordingly, each fleet had its own naval aviation with its commanders: B.L. Petrov commanded the Air Force of the North Baltic Fleet; GG Dzyuba commanded the Air Force of the South Baltic Fleet.
Colonel F.I.Shinkarenko was the commander of the air defense aviation of the Baltic Military District. And to the Minister of the Navy of the USSR Kuznetsov N.G. Colonel Shinkarenko F.I. did not comply at all. So that Kuznetsov N.G. I couldn't punish him myself, no matter how much I wanted to. Kuznetsov N.G. pleaded for punishment.
And secondly, the commander of the Air Defense Aviation of the Baltic District still had influential defenders. The Minister of Defense of the USSR, Marshal of the Soviet Union Alexander Mikhailovich Vasilevsky, for example, was much more authoritative than Kuznetsov N.G.

Fedor Shinkarenko says:

“I endured 15 days. My nerves could not stand it anymore, I was completely exhausted. I left Riga in the evening for Jurmala, I thought I would sleep at least one night. But I didn’t have time to go to bed - a call:

- Comrade Commander, Moscow is urgently calling you on the HF. I sent a car for you.

I'm coming. On the wire - Marshal Vershinin:

“Congratulations on the rank of Major General. Reported to Stalin today. Kuznetsov demanded to judge you, Bulganin and Vasilevsky, on the contrary, praised and defended you very much. And Stalin walked and walked, was silent, was silent, beat and beat the pipe, and then he says:

Well, let's summarize. I consider Comrade Shinkarenko's decision correct, instructive for the enemy and for our commanders. I have only one question: Comrade Vershinin, why is he still a colonel? Announce to him that he is a general..."

By the way, Bagramyan commanded the Baltic Military District at that time. But for some reason no one mentions his role. He did not defend the colonel and did not demand his punishment. Apparently Bagramyan prudently went on vacation or took sick leave

Yes, there was no need to ram. Just turn on the afterburner on Su for a short time and appear at a distance of 200-300 meters in front of the scout's nose for a short time. On and the wake will do its job. Just spin it and send it into a tailspin. What happened. Similar for countering in the air has been practiced since the USSR.
Look at the movie, Case in a square,,,,,, there the NATO Orion created obstacles to our Tu-16 naval aviation in a similar way.

I hope the wreckage will be retrieved for study.

It all depends on where you pecked. On the Black Sea, depths are up to 2,5 km. They may not be found or obtained.
Although our military men have a lot of interesting things for such a case. For such a catch, they can deliver a bathyscaphe to the Black Sea. Only our fighters will have to constantly drive Romanians and various Poles with impudent Saxons across the sea.

[Grandfather Fichteau]

The MQ-9 was performing routine operations in international airspace when it was intercepted and actually shot down by a Russian aircraft, causing the MQ-9 to crash and be completely lost.

Quote: Grandfather Pikhto

Finally ours started

And we have nothing to do with it. The control cameras on the SU-27 found that a 15-meter yacht was sailing under the reaper, with several men and one woman. Hiley-likes were members of a pro-Ukrainian group not affiliated with the government. From the joy of meeting with the master's drone, they got drunk and set off fireworks, and also tossed cans of tomatoes. So they damaged the American. Infa 100%.
In short, let's all together wait for the official statement of the RF Ministry of Defense.
The country has never waited so much for Konashenkov's speech...

[Berendey]

May I clarify, is that woman on the yacht a blonde in a white hat with a red cross painted on it? And the men are so gloomy and of unknown nationality? Also, are you sure the jar was filled with cucumbers? Maybe with tomatoes? After all, so far only a can of tomatoes has been adopted by the Armed Forces of Ukraine as an air defense system. Not?

[arkadiyssk]

Are you beautiful? Are you out of your mind? What's beautiful here? The strong Air Force of the Black Sea (well, do we consider ourselves the same?) would just fly up and fire a burst from a cannon. And through official channels, Lavrov would add - Whoever else turns up, we'll shoot down again. But it’s childish to pour fuel to push the propeller, and we’ll also declare tomorrow that it’s not on purpose? Yes? I think it's "kindergarten, pants with straps", not the Air Force.

The US Air Force claims that the maneuvers of a pair of Russian Su-27 fighters led to the fall of the drone. One of the planes that took off to intercept allegedly used a well-known trick - he opened the dump valve and doused the drone with fuel, the jet of which damaged the main rotor of the MQ-9. The US even called the maneuver "environmentally unsound."

Very environmentally friendly ... We peed on an omerigan drone ... The Russian Aerospace Forces recorded the flight of an American drone in the direction of the Russian border, after which fighter jets were lifted into the air, it flew in violation of the borders of the area of ​​​​the temporary regime for the use of airspace established for the purpose of conducting a special operation, the Ministry of Defense said.

According to the Ministry of Defense, on the morning of March 14 over the Black Sea in the area of ​​the Crimean peninsula, the airspace control of the Russian Aerospace Forces recorded the flight of an American MQ-9 unmanned aerial vehicle in the direction of the state border of the Russian Federation, according to the department’s Telegram channel.

It is clarified that the drone flew with transponders turned off in violation of the boundaries of the area of ​​​​the temporary regime for the use of airspace, established for the purpose of conducting a special military operation. Fighters from the air defense forces on duty were raised into the air to identify the intruder, the Defense Ministry said.

“As a result of sharp maneuvering around 9.30 (Moscow time), the MQ-9 unmanned aerial vehicle went into uncontrolled flight with a loss of altitude and collided with the water surface. Russian fighters did not use airborne weapons, they did not come into contact with the unmanned aerial vehicle and returned safely to their home airfield," the ministry stressed. https://vz.ru/news/2023/3/14/1203151.html

Like the pilot was afraid of rapprochement and for (censorship) kerosene.
I had a chance to see how the strategists drain the fuel before landing.
Impressed.

[svoroponov]

Ours closed the airspace in this place in connection with military operations. In addition, this space is located above our economic zone. The reconnaissance aircraft flew with transponders turned off. Violated the boundaries of this zone. Our military was not warned about his flight in advance. Therefore, he posed a threat. According to convection, they could even officially shoot down, but they simply blew him out of heaven, and the operator of this UAV could not get him out of the spin.
The Americans will now come up with anything, but it is obvious that this was going according to their plan, this is their special operation.

[Silhouette]

Well, he doesn’t take it, which means our electronic warfare. "Cook" takes, but "Reaper" does not.

[svoroponov]

No electronic warfare will take a blank with a propeller and wings. Obviously, the Americans simply planned, in case of problems with the navigation system, to turn it off and fly according to the gyroscope - horizontal with orientation, if necessary, according to landmarks using only a camera or cameras (in the future) of observation. A planned operation, nothing else is given here.

After that, the Americans had a chance and the technical ability to steal the drone.

Antonov will tell them everything personally. He has already been summoned to the State Department.
And the dumb ones (Kirby), as I thought, say the following:

“We have been flying over this airspace for a year, we will continue to do so, and we do not need confirmation from Russia to fly over international waters.” At the same time, Kirby noted that Moscow would not be able to keep Washington from flying in the region.
The White House spokesman added that American UAVs operate over the international waters of the Black Sea and will continue to do so for the sake of US national security.

Therefore, you can continue this shooting range.

I can’t laugh. Russian Defense Ministry: SU 27 did not use weapons. As a result of sharp maneuvering, the UAV itself fell into the water. In the State Department, out of anger, they will engage in autofellatio.

Just great news. At least something good. Reaper is a valuable prize. I hope the Su-27 was not injured.
Pilots for the award.
This is the kind of hockey we need!

But from now on, Yuri, please be more detailed. In a personal. If you have not forgotten, when I return from a business trip, I will DEFINITELY come to the city of Hero of Sevastopol! We will fill the arrow in the restaurant of your choice. If you don't mind, of course.

The main thing is that everything is fine with our pilot. And the rest... it doesn't matter.

video to watch

Hope it's not a coincidence...

Sorry, I'm not smart enough to write a normal comment

[Anna E]

Do not worry. It’s not “the geniuses of all times and peoples who have gathered here. And I don’t think there are too many graduates of the Academy of the General Staff. The main thing is to write “from the heart and with a good feeling.”

[wandlitz]

Our SU just wanted to take a closer look at what kind of crap is flying .....

[Strannik96]

Most likely, ours were pushed out, but the operators did not want to take them away, then the "normal flight" was interrupted, now it has begun, ours will now receive money for reapers, then they will never get enough reapers

[Vitaly Petrov_3]

Yes, "triper" now it will be possible to feed the fish!

So try the invisible thing, consider what is invisible!

Uncle, write in German in your Fatherland. If you have already brought you to Russia, then write in Russian. And if something doesn’t suit you, walk in the forest and knock the bumps off!

[tihonmarine]

According to the commander of the US Air Force in Europe, General James Hecker, the dangerous maneuvers of Russian fighters could lead to unpredictable consequences and escalation.

In the states, in general, they have already "beguiled the Ramses" when their drone flies thousands of kilometers from the United States and they are still making claims. And why shouldn't Russia start launching drones near the states.

[ivan_nkl]

their drone flies thousands of kilometers from the USA and they still make claims

their drone is democratic - this is the time !! Second, he defends US interests near our borders.

[Vitaly Petrov_3]

Now let the fish democratize! Nemo was waiting, go and rejoice!!!

[Bulrumeb]

Do we have such drones? That's what it is...

[Vitaly Petrov_3]

We don’t have it and they won’t have it, there’s nothing to put rusty screws!

[Anna E]

Or maybe a dozen balloons to let them in? It will be hilarious how they will catch them. The main thing is that entertainment will be almost free for us.

[Mavrikiy]

American drone was damaged propeller, unable to continue flight and fell into the sea.

He is calmer in the depths.

that there were two Russian Su-27 fighters, they worked as a pair.

Now the Americans will also fly with the F-35, so our actions? ..

[Gpn27]

And we don't have strategic drones yet. If the F-35s try to hook the Su-27s, then they have much more chances to go to the bottom, they are not maneuverable.

[Anna E]

"Fy 35" with a ##noy broom to drive, and will bully - send to the fish.

[Alexeya2709]

Where are the protests and accusations of the unprofessionalism of drone pilots and command? There is a prerequisite for LTP. And if there was a civilian aircraft?

[ivan_nkl]

Where are the protests and accusations of the unprofessionalism of drone pilots and command?

drone pilots and drone scientists have not yet reached a common consensus ...

[Diverter]

OH! What great news tonight! Ah well done pilots and others like them!)))
I'm sure this pair of pilots needs to be rewarded somehow.
I wonder if another one will fall and after that they will stop roaming around in the Black Sea or will they immediately figure it out?)

[Vitaly Petrov_3]

On Encore guys repeat, good job, show them their place!

[g_ae]

Over the Black Sea, they usually shoot down hohly. Apparently again the Ukrainian group. Not associated with the government, of course.

Aha. "Either the fishermen were jamming the fish", or "what kind of non-governmental partisans" on their PERSONAL plane. Well, they didn’t like the mug of this pepelatsa, why punish them now, or what !?

[kakvastam]

Colliding in such a way as to damage only the propeller is a must.
Surely an accident - the drone is unobtrusive, so they didn’t notice it.

[ivan_nkl]

the drone is inconspicuous, so they didn’t notice it

the reverse side of stealth technology + flew with the transponder turned off ... did not escape

Or sniffed the gas jets from the nozzles of Drying, and at the same time the tamper checked these same jets!

[Sailor]

It is high time. This is both practical and a warning about the seriousness of the threat of a global collision due to 404 of dubious value to the Western world.

[Prisoner]

Well done our fighter. R-time and modified the air drone into an underwater one. Let the mattress horonyak swim among the katrans.

[Knell wardenheart]

Here it is necessary to answer "oh, well, did you make him invisible? SO WE DID NOT SEE." And all - bribes are smooth.

[ivan_nkl]

If ours pick it up, you will bite your own rolls for a long time ...

[Sergey_B]

I wonder if they can lift. Now Amer's generals are squealing there.

[Hermit]

You can blow up the SP-2, you can kill civilians with NATO shells, but you can’t touch the UAV.
In general, it was the Ghost of Kyiv.

[Former soldier]

This drone behaved impudently and tried to shoot down the Su-27 with a propeller.

[Glagol1]

What was this drone doing there? Flying unmanned? What problems?

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

A Russian fighter jet shot down a US Air Force drone over the Black Sea on Tuesday after damaging the propeller of a US MQ-9 Reaper drone, according to the US Air Force.

A Reaper drone and two SU-27 Flanker aircraft were operating over international waters over the Black Sea when one of the Russian jets intentionally flew in front of the drone and dumped fuel in front of it, the official said. Then one of the planes damaged the Reaper's propeller, which is mounted on the back of the drone, the official said.

after screw damage

how did they know about the screw? maybe they broke the machine...

[Tma197725]

It is necessary to prepare at least a couple of satellites of the Gastello series for launch !!!

[Lena Petrova]

Yes, just to warn that in view of the transfer of intelligence to Nenka, the presence of these devices in the region is not welcome. "Inexperienced" pilots will be sent in the future as well.

[Ivan Fokin_2]

This is the Su-27 of the Ukrainian oligarch, he hired pilots with fake Russian passports, Russia is not in business here.

[kill the fascist]

But this is good news. Land a couple more threes and the desire to fly in these waters will disappear.

[Frank Muller]

I doubt. If at least one pilot were covered, then this is already serious for the shtatovites: the death of an American (at least one) is perceived by them as a tragedy. And they have unmanned good - that dirt, it’s not a pity. Another thing is provocations with far-reaching consequences. This is what the Russian "Ministry of Concern" seems to be concerned about right now.

[Michael]

This drone had AI (artificial intelligence) Mk4. If the Russians hack it, they will gain access to the Mk2 AI (Biden).

[Kolias_Ghost]

Viktor Talalikhin lives again!!!

The SU-27 pilot obviously paid attention in history class.

[Viktor Sergeev]

Due to the unprofessionalism of the drone operators, he went to ram the Su27, which was in international waters not far from the borders of the Russian Federation. We decided to cut down the bastards with a propeller, they thought it was a plane from the Second World War.

[YanniKounnar]

Donc les USA répètent à plusieurs reprises "espace aérien international" pour sous entendre : pas de raison pour les Russes de s'approcher du drone qui se trouve pas loin de la Russie...ok
Mais curieusement lorsqu'un navire Iranien se trouve dans les eaux internationales prés de l'Iran et très loin des USA , pour les USA il est normal de arraisonner...
Deux poids deux mesures comme toujours!

Thus, the US repeatedly repeats "international airspace", meaning: there is no reason for the Russians to approach a drone that is not far from Russia ... well
, but it is curious when an Iranian ship is in international waters close to Iran and very far from the US in order to be usable. in the US it's okay to put him on board...
Double standards as always!

[fetus]

good to hear the concerns of the Pentagon. reward the pilot!

[Valery_37_RUS]

No one shot him down (the drone), he flew out with faulty, rusty propellers.

[Herman 4223]

I hope that our plane was not badly damaged. You have to pay for the scratched paint.

[ivan_nkl]

If ours were the first, then this is a very successful "provocation" ...

[Azimuth]

Houston, We're losing him. Meanwhile, the pilots justified themselves and swore that they didn’t touch, well, except that they kicked in the ass.

[polynet]

Recall that in recent months this flying bastard has been observing and giving target designation to swarms of Bandera drones aimed at attacking the Crimea, brazenly climbing into Russian airspace.

By the way, the non-brothers have already edited Wikipedia. There, as always, hysteria, snot and hatred. Enjoy!

And I saw not hatred, but envy!
