It sounds like The West may have shot down their own drone. That would only make sense since Russia blew up their own pipelines.

Most likely a USAF Global Hawk watching Crimea shot down by Russia in international waters of Black Sea, not a Reaper. Russia has been trying to shoot down the Global Hawks over the past few months.

The fighter is faster and more maneuverable. Will be interesting to see how this occurred.

Question, Did it fly into the path of the fighter on purpose?

Forte10 was active yesterday but returned to base. Haven’t seen Forte11 recently. Maybe it was a Reaper that was shot down, not the Hawk.
