A U.S. military MQ-9 drone was downed into the black sea by two Russian Su-27 fighter jets on Tuesday.
The two Russian jets dumped fuel on the drone several times and eventually hit the drone's propeller, causing the drone to crash into the Black Sea, according to U.S. European command.
Air Force General, James B. Hecker, said that the MQ-9 was "conducting routine operations in international airspace when it was intercepted and hit by Russian aircraft, resulting in a crash and complete loss of the MQ-9". The general added that the act by the Russian jets were "unsafe and unprofessional".
