A Russian fighter jet has collided with an American Reaper drone over the Black Sea, the US military confirmed today.
One Western source said earlier that an investigation was underway to check whether the drone had been shot down in the area of intense NATO military activity close to the Ukraine war frontlines.
But it was later confirmed that a collision had occurred.
The US military said a Russian fighter jet clipped the propeller of the drone, forcing the US to bring it down over the Black Sea.
