A Russian fighter jet has collided with a United States of America drone in space over the Black Sea bordering Ukraine.

U.S. Air Force General in the region, James Hecker, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.

“Our MQ-9 aircraft was conducting routine operations in international airspace when it was intercepted and hit by a Russian aircraft, resulting in a crash and complete loss of the MQ-9.

“In fact, this unsafe and unprofessional act by the Russians nearly caused both aircraft to crash,’ he said.

It is not clear what led to the development, but Ukraine has been a war center following the country’s invasion by Russian forces.

There is no immediate reaction from the Russian side at press time.
