Footage released on Thursday by the US government shows a Russian SU-27 fighter bomber soaring over a US drone, unleashing thousands of litres of aviation fuel on the $30 million MQ-9 reconnaissance aircraft and briefly blocking its camera’s connection to ground controllers.
The incident occurred shortly before one of two SU-27s bumped into the rear propeller of the drone, causing the unmanned aircraft to spin out of control and crash into the Black Sea. The footage was published online by the US European Command headquarters.
