Pentagon spokesman: Reconnaissance UAVs have to fly south of previous routes over the Black Sea after the Russians shot down MQ-9

On American television, they analyze the situation with intelligence over the Black Sea, primarily in relation to Russian military activity in Crimea. The CNN report says that after the well-known incident with the American drone MQ-9 Reaper command had to change the routes of reconnaissance flights.
From a CNN report:
According to a senior Pentagon official, American drones now fly south of the former routes. The official said the drones are flying further away from the coast of Ukraine, as there is a threat that they will be shot down.
It is noted that the decision to change reconnaissance routes was made "after the Russians shot down an MQ-9 Reaper over the Black Sea."
Recall that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation pointed out the absence of direct contact between Su-27 fighters and UAVs of the US Air Force.
A Pentagon spokesman said that "now the quality of US intelligence over the Black Sea south of Crimea has declined."
Thus, since the incident with the “kerosene shower” for the Reaper, American drones no longer approach that zone in the airspace near the Crimean peninsula, which was previously declared by the Russian Ministry of Defense as a zone with restricted flights in connection with a special operation. The boundaries of one of these zones were violated by an American drone, eventually ending up at the bottom.
