The United States military has condemned what it calls a “reckless” manoeuvre by a Russian warplane that brought down one of its surveillance drones over the Black Sea.
The Russian foreign ministry denies the claim, insisting there was no Russian interference before the aircraft crashed on approach to the Crimean coast.
Al Jazeera’s Mike Hanna reports from Washington, DC.

What was US stupid drone doing in Russia territory in the first place. US is just a trouble maker
International airspace is not Russian territory 🤦🏻♀️
🇷🇺♥️♥️
why do u upload videos with audio only one one side
USA shoot 2000 dollar chinese balloon with 2 million dollar missile whereas Russian aircraft throw its urine to shoot down multi million America reper drone.🤭🫢😁😁😜😜🤣🤣😭😭😥😢
US… if we American bleed is blood for others tomotto sauce.. what your drone doing in others territory man
I agree with US, and they should invite Russia to flew drone over US territories.
At one time people would have stood by US but not anymore this is becoming part of so well rehearsed play keeps happening same way around the world when US is involved how come other countries dnt face this situation… Simply coz others dnt poke around in other countries business.
What goes around comes around.
No collision but SHOOTING…..
GOODJOB RUSSIA
USA is the source of problem in the world.
It’s not a collision, stupid. Wake up. Bravo, Russia 🎉
Book hoodoo hooo . It’s a spy drone far far away from home.
Actually the pilot opened the cockpit and whacked the drone using a shovel.
Hypersonic shovel!
Well done Russia 🇷🇺 as your not sleeping excellent security measures I salute you Mr Putin 🇷🇺
Now time to hit back don’t tell lie accident. Hit back Biden is cowered
Interesting.
USA: used $1m missile to blew up a $200 Chinese balloon
Russia: used jet fuel dump to down $30m USA reaper drone
I hope next time the b-52 will fall, or the aircraft carrier will go to the bottom
Americans are hypocrites.
Russia vs USA destroy each other
Who is reckless and unprofessional now
Well done Russia 🇷🇺
That is funny, America shots down Chinese weather balloon America cheers, Russia if it is true intercepted a Spy drone and it crashed America cried foul. the whining really is funny..
Keep your toys at home, then the other kids will not destroy them🤗
The western media’s making out as if the crashed drone was the offence!?, not where it was and who flew it there!?! “The bad Russian Air craft crashed the drone” totaly out of its own area, in Russias back yard!?………. bad Russia!?! 🙄
100 million dollars Mq9 drone lost to 30 million dollars su 27
🇷🇺💪🇮🇳
🤡🇺🇲🤡
Look at the bright side Russians werr giving free fuel to the American toy
Russia is right. The earth doesn’t belong to USA n its might.
USA is the lead PREDATOR & anything USA that moves should be blown out of the sky. biden USA is a smart Alec salesman & con artist forever bleating human rights , freedom , democracy as if it had the sole patent rights & is a never ending narrative., USA IS THE BAD GUY !
Well done Russia ❤️
Good job 🇷🇺 ❤️ from🇮🇳
If you check flightradar, you can see American spy planes and global hawk drones on holding patter like path gathering intelligence with their transponder switched on. This one is a combat drone with the ability to carry1.7 tonnes of weapons on discreet mode snooping in. Russia have every right to check and if necessary to take it down as per level of security threats it posses
Urine damages propellers
Poor dumb Yankees
This decade will be the end of Supremacy of USA.
Russia 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺 thanks 🙏🙏🙏
old war criminal biden, shot down over the Black Sea, thanks Russian pilots
Well USA, play stupid games and win stupid prizes
Tecnically its an accident
Russian did not used fighter jet to shoot down unlike US shoting down Chinese balloon.
Loser
Greetings from Hungary !
The US drone collided with a pro-Ukraine ship returning from the Nord Stream region of the Baltic Sea !!!
Is it posibble that Crushing Russia is a very very very clear message to others to obey US from now on?
Could it be US wanted?
If Russia operates the same kind of drones close to the US border what will the US do? Just watch and take photos???
aint they mad 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s mighty reply.
No bullets needed only a shovel
Rightly dumped the barbarians drone. Continue to weed out.
Bring your drone back to your country.. why are they in someones boarder..
American hypocrisy droned…and rightfully shot down !
America is falling very fast , next step is to split US land into pieces .
Dream on. Russia can’t even handle Ukraine, much less a small part of NATO. The US could devastate Russia in a couple of days.
Question is why was in so near crimea in the first place when:
#1 Ukraine isnt even a NATO member
#2 There aren’t any NATO bases or territories there
#3 America would hypocritically shoot down “spy balloons” in their own territory
Blame their own mistake. they use AUV for espionage.
Skill issues.
The US is crying, whining 🤣🤣🤣
Irregardless unitarily or under command, Russia hqve the right to defend itself.
After this war its going to be fun in Russia with all the private army’s. Happy disintegration Russian Federation.
In the private army most of them are criminals who were released from prison, and now they are heroes 🤦🏻♀️
Russia has no future.
I hope Ukraine’s victory is soon, I hope they get all the weapons they need to do it
@Leisa Kovacek It going to be a big mess private army against private army
More American BS
Gut gemacht Russland, die USA WELTFASCHISTEN haben dort nix zu suchen.
I wonder if the United States will send the same dive team that they used to blow up the nord stream pipeline, to recover the drone?
Do you trust Russia or America??? I say both lies according to shoulder to shoulder
Good bless 🐻🇷🇺❤️🇨🇳🐼 well done 🤗😘
Tests are underway in MQ9 to allow for the addition of the AIM-92 Stinger air-to-air missile,Checkmate Putin,if you do this once more,your million dollar jet will be under the sea
I’m done sitting tight for the award advance since i acquire$23,000 every 12 days of my investment.🇨🇦💯❤️
I just looked on google and confirmed she’s a licensed broker, I am contacting her right away, thanks
Excellent Job Russians we love u, URAAAAA
Slava Russia 🇷🇺
It is time now for the USA to think about its military capabilities while fighting with Russia or China, or even Iran. Iran brought down a 100 million dollar US spy drone a few years ago near or around persian gulf.
Something’s going start over Ukraine…
I can tell we are going to be in war with them but this time the u.s vs russia
I should maybe leave the u.s to somewhere else if we do….
Putin…huraaaaa
🇮🇳🇷🇺🥰
As many countries as possible should join the initiative to transfer heavy weapons to Ukraine, because Ukraine is defending its territories and its people
We have to cooperate and help Ukraine together like we have done during the ww2
The turning point in this war began with the supply of Western weapons, against which the Russian army is unable to defend itself.
I think that Russian president has already understood that Russia hasn’t got alternative weapons to ours
Russia understands that it is losing the war and therefore tries to kill as many people as possible while it can. This is barbarism
Putin has already realized about his loosing according to our supports
little sam uses missiles that cost millions for weather balloons while Russia just uses the fart of their fighter jet to down the so called mighty spy drone
What do the Russians want? They don’t care about their losses and want escalation? Their actions are disgusting. I hope Ukraine will soon be able to defeat them and stop their ambitious “threats”
The most important thing now is to support Ukraine
It is the biggest aggressor in the world! And Ukraine is trying to resist it with all its might, with all possible methods!
The shelling of civilian infrastructure continues and ordinary Ukrainians are suffering! Russia has once again proved that there is nothing human about them!
The US actions were disgusting when they killed 1m Iraq’s who had no WMD .
Putin is trying to kill as many people as possible while the war is still on.
Russian bots have stepped up and are writing a million of the same comments 🤦🏻♀️
We need to support Ukraine because it is fighting for its territories and its people
Ukrainians are fighting against Putler, who likes to threaten the whole world, but his orcs are weak against Nato weapons
😂😂😂😂
Because of his war, many people are dying, and it is his fault, so he must be punished for it)))
@AA wtf are these bots doing lmao
As per Russia, the drone crashed because of a sharp maneuver and they denied any contact between the two planes. This affirms that Russia is not willing to reduce tensions. It’s inevitable that we will witness similar ships in other waters soon.
Totally agree with you, russians are doing all they want and nobody is telling them where their place is. This is not a great idea to be honest. Because nowadays the thing we should do it to stand together with Ukraine and other democratic states in order to stop our common enemy.
This is just pathetic to be honest. US needs to tell the truth – russian jets either shot down or were the reason of American drone being lost. There is already audio proof of russian pilots speaking about this situation that day. First it was Poland, then Moldova, now this. It just shows that putin and his lapdog generals don’t want peace – they will escalate this war further and further. Only by helping Ukraine win we will be able to stop this.
Have Americans really already forgotten what happened to a Chinese weather balloon when it was about to enter US air space ?!?
How short are your memories ?!?
And you have the audacity of complaining about a Reaper drone being downed in an active theatre of conflict near the Russian border ?!?
How thick are they…. ?
But why is a US drone in the black sea.
Russian Pilot sprayed jet Fuel on the drone.
US southern border needs some drone more than the Black sea.
We need to destroy everything terrorist in the world!
Good job Russia for downing the drone of the so called ‘Police of the world ‘ -full support from INDIA ❤🇮🇳.
russians need to fly drones in gulf of mexico. its only fair. keep up the good work russia
usa is bustered theaft nation
Lets tell the truth. That Russian pilot made an expert maneuver and tap that drone sending it into the Black Sea. Only a few pilots have that skill.
God forbid the Americans shoot down a Russian plane. then the rest of the world will train the landing on the moon on the territory of the United States.
Joe Biden is a useless f**k. He know he can’t fight putin. All he can do is moaning and crying
Good job Russia
Here is the deal. With the morons we have in charge (biden, austin, milley) you know that they flew the same flightpath at the same time everyday. So you know the Russians planned this and were waiting on us. Who can blame them. We consistently stick our noses where it doesn’t belong (we have no business in the Black Sea none) so we deserve to be checked. I bet the Russians were waiting on the drone to hit the water so they can hand it over to Iran to learn from. We will never learn. No one is afraid of us or our capabilities
Biden made a one more very big mistake making that drone incident public. Now everyone in the world is joking on the US and mocking it. Biden is a biggest enemy of American people. He must be impeached and put in jail as soon as possible lest he would destroy the country.
The russians lying, as usual.
🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini !! 🇺🇦
What is the us drone doing in a war zone , simple to gather intelligence against the Russians for the Ukrainianw
