BS, they shot it down and DoD is trying to spin it.
If Russia shot down a US drone over international waters, hot water will result.
“Struck the propellers” = “Russians shot it down”
All over Twitter it’s reported the drone was shot down. This is the first time a collision has been mentioned.
True. That silly story of a SU-27 hitting the prop on that thing and we had to bring it down ourselves doesn’t pass the straight face test.
Wonder where it was?
But this shouldn’t surprise anybody. Nuland just went on TV and said the US was helping Ukraine strike Crimea and thought they should. That clearly makes our surveillance/attack aircraft a legitimate target.
