Russian Defense Ministry: Su-27 fighters did not use weapons against the US MQ-9 drone and did not come into contact with it, it fell by itself

The Russian Defense Ministry issued a release regarding today's reports of an incident with an American drone over the Black Sea. Recall that, according to the American side, “pilots of Russian Su-27 fighters acted unprofessionally, which led to mechanical impact on the blades drone MQ-9 Reaper, causing the drone to fall into the water."

The Russian Ministry of Defense in a release reports that in the area of ​​​​Russian borders in the Crimean direction on the morning of Tuesday, March 14, the approach of an American MQ-9 UAV was recorded. It was noted that the drone was moving towards the Russian state border.



It is emphasized that the drone flight was carried out with the transponders turned off. At the same time, the American drone violated the boundaries of the airspace, which was established as a special zone during a special military operation. The Russian Ministry of Defense stressed that it had previously communicated to all users of international airspace data on this kind of regime.

Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation:

In order to identify the intruder, fighters from the air defense forces on duty were raised into the air. 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.

It is added that the fighters did not use any weapons against the American drone and did not come into contact with it:

The Su-27 fighters returned safely to their base airfield.

        Formally, the United States cannot accuse Russia of destroying the UAV, since they themselves admit that they had to finish it off on their own. Therefore, they will rest on the fact that the discharge of kerosene and damage to the propeller had fatal consequences. Yes

Only now, they themselves confirmed that .....,, was later than the accusation of destroying the propeller. They don't know yet, but they already say. Apparently they want to divert the attention of the whole world from attention to the collapse of their banks to the area of ​​increased military confrontation over Ukraine.

      It is reported that Russian sailors conducted a search operation and were able to lift some parts of the American MQ-9A drone from the bottom, which crashed today at 09.28 am.

      It played in our favor that the Reaper itself got very close to the Crimea and was 60 kilometers southwest of Sevastopol before the fall, which allowed our units to calmly fish out the wreckage.

      Romanian helicopters tried to fly to the crash site, however, after flying a little over 100 kilometers, they turned back to the base. And the AWACS aircraft G-550 of the Italian Air Force and the anti-submarine P-8A Poseidon flew to the shores of the Black Sea to monitor the situation.

      Hmm, we are waiting for the American answer.
      For a week they will think about where else there are red lines, and they will cross them, IMHO.

      "Mechanical impact" sounds like your pilot lit it up, and in a NOTAM box too. Maybe a "rogue Russian support unit" is responsible? Nobody was killed and you guys got a good laugh at the response, sounds like a win/win to me. We're killing balloons and you're killing drones, and I hope it doesn't get any worse than that.

      remembered an old joke.
      TASS message: "Today at 5.00 Moscow time in the North Atlantic, an American multi-purpose nuclear submarine collided with an iceberg and sank. The iceberg crew was presented for state awards" wink
      We also need to introduce the direct participants, especially the UAV operator. The young man did the job. Urgently to the Motherland...

        RADIO TALKS BY AMERICAN AIRCRAFT CARRIER October 16, 1997 They write that it's true. In any case, I laughed heartily)))⁠⁠
        AMERICAN RADIO TALKS
        October 16, 1997

        “Spaniards: ... says A-853, please turn 15 degrees south to avoid a collision with us. You are moving right at us, a distance of 25 nautical miles.

        Americans: ... we advise you to turn 15 degrees north to avoid a collision with us.

        Spaniards: The answer is no. Repeat, turn 15 degrees south to avoid a collision.

        Americans (other voice): The captain of the ship of the United States of America speaks to you. Turn 15 degrees north to avoid a collision.

        Spaniards: We do not consider your proposal either possible or adequate; we advise you to turn south by 15 degrees so as not to crash into us.

        Americans (in elevated tones): CAPTAIN RICHARD JAMES HOWARD SAYS WITH YOU, COMMANDER OF THE USS LINCOLN AIRCRAFT, Navy OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, SECOND OF GREAT MILITARY CORAL. We are escorted by 2 cruisers, 6 destroyers, 4 submarines and numerous support ships. I DO NOT ADVISE YOU - I ORDER TO CHANGE YOUR COURSE BY 15 DEGREES IN THE NORTH. OTHERWISE, WE WILL BE FORCED TO TAKE THE NECESSARY MEASURES TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR SHIP. IMMEDIATELY REMOVE OUR COURSE !!!!

        Spaniards: Juan Manuel Salas Alcantara speaks to you. We are two people. We are accompanied by a dog, dinner, 2 bottles of beer and a canary that is sleeping now. We are supported by the radio station “Channel 106 - Extreme Situations At Sea”. We are not going to turn anywhere, given that we are on land and are the A-853 lighthouse on Cape Finisterre of the Galician coast of Spain. We have no idea what place we have in size among the Spanish lighthouses. You can take all the ... measures you think are necessary and do whatever you want to ensure the safety of your ... ship that will smash into smithereens about these ... cliffs. Therefore, once again, we strongly recommend that you do the most meaningful thing: change your course 15 degrees south to avoid a collision.

        Americans: OK, accepted, thanks. The end of communication. ”

      Chased phrase:
      In order to identify the intruder, fighters from the air defense forces on duty were raised into the air. 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.

        Wrong, it was the water surface itself that suddenly rose and collided with Reaper.
        If there is "asphalt sickness", then why can't there be "water sickness"?

      Why do the Defense Ministry make excuses at all, they used weapons, they didn’t, there was, there was no contact? The drone flew in the zone of our interests, transmitted data with which they kill our military and civilians. That's all, this is enough to bring down the drone to hell. It's a pity that such an action will most likely remain one-time ..

      If the scheme of the CBS channel, in which our Su-27 pilots dive low over the water with a drone, then this is the highest aerobatics of the mind and experience! Top-level special flight operation! All participants medals and orders!

      It seems that it would be enough for the dryer to make a cobra over this rattle so that it would crash, or, well, go supersonic in the immediate vicinity.
      In general, well done pilot!
      In general, this whole story reminds me of the behavior of a non-native bastard who, having been punched, rushes to the police station to write a complaint. In our time, the yard punks didn’t do that.

      A clear vulnerability of MQ-9 and other drones during contact with Russian aircraft has been revealed - this is the inability to withstand the exit jet of a fighter jet. This vulnerability knocked the drone out of stable motion and caused the drone to dive down uncontrollably. This non-military tactic of scrapping accidentally flown drones should become a standard for the Russian Air Force.
