"Today, at about 10:40, the Russian military aircraft acted dangerously and unprofessionally during cooperation with the US aircraft in Syria," he said. The publication states that three MQ-9 performed a mission against the goals of IDIL. Three Russian fighter jets began to pursue drones and dropped several parachute missiles in front of them. The US Air Force noted that because of this, their UAVs were forced to perform evasion maneuvers.
"In addition, one Russian pilot placed its aircraft in front of the MQ-9 and included the forthge, thereby reducing the operator's ability to safely manage the drone," Grinkevich added. The US Air Force considers these actions unprofessional and dangerous. Lieutenant General emphasized that such decisions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Syria threaten the safety of not only US forces but also Russian.
"We urge the Russian forces in Syria to stop such reckless behavior and adhere to standards of behavior expected of professional military-air forces so that we can again focus on the long-lasting IDIL defeat," the commander of the United Forces said. We will remind, on March 14, the Russian Su-27 aircraft dropped the fuel in front of the American MQ-9 Reaper over the Black Sea. This led to the fall of UAV.
