“A U.S. Defense Official has told Reuters that No Incident involving a U.S. Surveillance Drone has occurred today over the Black Sea, despite claims earlier by several Russian Sources.”
Perhaps the drone pilot turned the transponder off.
The Russian Fighter Bomber Telegram channel that was originally bragging about a shoot down is now backtracking saying nothing was shot down.
Flight trackers show that there were no RQ-4 Global Hawk flights over the Black Sea in more than 24 hours. So maybe the Russians harassed a MQ-9 Reaper and that was it. Russia propagandists deflated right now.
Now Fighter Bomber Telegram is ranting and doubling down on his claims and saying Russian MiG-31 shot down USAF Global Hawk at high altitude and Russian pilots will be awarded hero medals.
