Russian fighter jets shadowed U.S. predator drones on at least three separate occasions high above Syria since the start of Russias air campaign last week, according to two U.S. officials briefed on this latest intelligence from the region.
The first time it happened, we thought the Russians got lucky. Then it happened two more times, said one official.
Both officials said that the incidents took place over ISIS-controlled Syria, including its de facto headquarters in Raqqa, as well as along the Turkish-Syrian border near Korbani. Another occurred in the northwest, near the highly contested city of Aleppo.

“The Russians carried out only one half or at best a quarter of the strikes they claim to have conducted,” said a senior military official.
Lying KGB filth. What a surprise.
WHY ISN'T THAT TOWN A HEAP OF RUINS IN THE DESERT BY NOW?....................
Track? They have probably hacked into the radio control signals, and receive the GPS readings directly from the drones.
They’ve probably hacked the control software and can monitor in real-time.
Yeah, because it couldn’t possibly be the Obama Administration lying there. They only “accidentally” said Russia blew up civilians in Syria before Russia even made their first strike, after all.
The russians never got lucky in intercepting the drones. It was all by intention.
And how do you know that it’s not our DoD that’s lying? It wouldn’t be the first time...
Time for U.S. to pull back from any Syrian operations. What we have been doing has been totally ineffective and we don’t want one of our planes shot down as a result of a miscalculation. Russia will use a scorched Earth policy without regard for humanitarian issues or collateral damage. Their objective is to win and control land which was the old fashioned way to win wars.
"strong uncle Volodya" Shows just what everyone except the fools who voted for him think of zero.
“Lying KGB filth. What a surprise.”
Are you talking about our political military leaders or the Russians?
I wait a few months to see if anything the Russians say is true
The U.S. military’s MQ-1 Predator drone is not a stealth aircraft.
“It is easy to see a predator on radar,”
Then why are they so surprised that the Russians found them not once, not twice, but three times?
I would put that question to those claiming surprise.
The article seems to contradict itself with both messages.
What hack? Didn't Lord Foul gift Iran with one of our drones, and therefore it's tech, and aren't Russia and Iran best buds? Carter,Clinton and Obama in the business of destroying America for decades.
The Clintons probably sold them our frequencies.
Did you mean the Russian or the senior military official?
